Just ask Omar Minaya, who was applauded for landing Bartolo Colon back in 2002 when he was the GM of the Montreal Expos. Minaya, however, parted ways with three future stars—Brandon Phillips, Cliff Lee and Grady Sizemore—as the Expos fell apart the rest of the way and failed to reach the playoffs. http://rays.scout.com/2/774883.html 2047 Tyler Hissey http://rays.scout.com/2/774883.html Sun, 03 Aug 2008 07:23:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays The Tampa Bay Rays have enough talent to remain in the Wild Card without making a major move, writes Tyler Hissey. While Andrew Friedman and his staff will look to improve the Tampa Bay roster at the right price, the club is in position to sustain its success for the long term. Thus, a major deal seems unlikely. http://rays.scout.com/2/770249.html 2047 Tyler Hissey http://rays.scout.com/2/770249.html Fri, 18 Jul 2008 15:09:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays The Tampa Bay Rays won their second consecutive road series on Sunday, defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates in the rubber-match of a three-game set. Backed by Shawn Riggans' 3-for-4 performance and Andy Sonnanstine's seven effective innings, the Rays closed out their road trip with a 5-1 record. With the win and a Boston loss, Tampa Bay now has a one-half game lead in the American League East. http://rays.scout.com/2/765903.html 2047 Tyler Hissey http://rays.scout.com/2/765903.html Mon, 30 Jun 2008 05:50:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays Following a Memorial Day victory over the Texas Rangers on Monday, the Tampa Bay Rays have the best record in all of Major League Baseball. The Rays’ in-state rival, the Florida Marlins, are off to an excellent start as well, currently sitting atop the National League East standings. Which team is more likely to remain in playoff contention throughout the remainder of the season? http://rays.scout.com/2/757586.html 2047 Tyler Hissey http://rays.scout.com/2/757586.html Tue, 27 May 2008 05:20:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays On Tuesday, February, 12, Rays Digest writers Ted Fleming and Tyler Hissey will discuss the Tampa Bay Rays on TBSN Radio. http://rays.scout.com/2/728327.html 2047 Scout.com http://rays.scout.com/2/728327.html Mon, 11 Feb 2008 15:40:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays Signing James Shields to a long-term contract that could last seven years and be worth up to $44 million was a big deal. But the Rays don't know what impact -- if any -- it will have on their hopes to sign left-hander Scott Kazmir to a long-term deal. Kazmir said it wouldn't really be applicable, that their situations are vastly different. http://rays.scout.com/2/725666.html 2047 Scout.com Wire Services http://rays.scout.com/2/725666.html Sat, 02 Feb 2008 21:46:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays The Tampa Bay Rays’ recent spending spree (projected ’08 payroll up to $40-million) has been met with positive feedback, as expected. There has been some criticism of the James Shields deal, though, for a variety of different reasons. http://rays.scout.com/2/723827.html 2047 Tyler Hissey http://rays.scout.com/2/723827.html Sun, 27 Jan 2008 21:13:00 GMT 1 322 Tampa Bay rays With the Rays' promising young pitching staff and an explosive lineup, featuring stars Carl Crawford, Carlos Pena and B.J. Upton, and possibly top third base prospect Evan Longoria, if you were to stick the Rays in the NL Central right now, perhaps the Rays would be in the thick of the playoff race all year--in '08. http://rays.scout.com/2/723562.html 2047 Tyler Hissey http://rays.scout.com/2/723562.html Sat, 26 Jan 2008 18:01:00 GMT 1 322 Tampa Bay rays With a number of scribbles of his Mount Blanc pen on the contracts of James Shields, Carlos Pena, Scott Kazmir and Jonny Gomes, along with free agents Cliff Floyd and Troy Percival, Rays' owner Stuart Sternberg has peaked the interest of every baseball fan and pundit from hither and yon, says Rays Digest columnist Ted Fleming. http://rays.scout.com/2/723263.html 2047 Ted Fleming http://rays.scout.com/2/723263.html Fri, 25 Jan 2008 13:27:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays Only four new franchises have graced Major League Baseball over the past 30 years: The Diamondbacks, Rays, Rockies, and Marlins. This foursome has enjoyed varying degrees of success, but with recent emphasis on stockpiling young talent, all four have revolutionized player management philosophies and appear poised for prolonged excellence. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/722833.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/722833.html Thu, 24 Jan 2008 03:00:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks James Shields and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays will square off tonight against the Baltimore Orioles in the second game of a three game series. http://rays.scout.com/2/642727.html 2047 Foxsports.com http://rays.scout.com/2/642727.html Wed, 09 May 2007 17:22:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays
