The Tampa Bay Rays are starting off the 2008 season in a midst of injuries: RF Rocco Baldelli- Injuried indefintly due to a disease that keeps him fatigue SP- Scott Kazmir- Elbow injury that will keep him out until late April. He is our future all star and we needed him against the Yanks SP- Matt Garza- Put on 15 day DL yesterday with a nerve injury, that he said is from last year. Thanks for telling us this now after we trade a future All Star in Delmon Young for you! SP- David Price- 1st overall pick strained his arm, which will delay him going to Single A vero beach which hurts his chances of coming up after the all star break RF- Cliff Floyd- Sore knee that has kept him out of the lineup for the last 2 games. C- Dioneer Navarro- slipped while entering the dugout and needed 12 stitches in his hand, 15 day DL. A move is going to have to come soon for RF. Baldelli is going to be gone, Cliff Floyd will stay at DH, Eric Hinske and Johnny Gomes are a defensive liablity, and Elliot Johnson and Nathan Haynes dont have a good enough bat. Elliot Johnson shouldnt be in the big leagues, he should be sent down soon.
Cliff Floyd has offically been put on the DL with a medial meniscus tear in his right knee. It will keep him out 2-4 weeks. We have lost 2 RFs, anybody know any OF that is on the trade block? I know Coco Crisp may be traded, but I dont know if they would trade to a team in the division. Bonds, if he can play RF, looks better and better each day.
