Rays Winter Meetings

The Rays fans are worried that the rays look like they are thinking about rebuilding after a disappointing ending to the season were we ended up with the AL best record and division champs by losing in 5 games in the ALDS by the rangers or mostly Cliff Lee. So now this winter meeting the rays are powerless to stop the coming storm which will cause all of free agents to leave Tampa for better opportunity. The free agents are Carl Crawford, Rafael Soranio, Carlos Pena, Joaquin Benoit, and Grant Balfour. Crawford, Pena, and Benoit have all accepted offers from other teams to play for them for a huge amount of money and good for them. Good news the Rays have Desmond Jennings a top 10 minor league prospect to fill the void in left field with Carl there and the Rays are making trades to strengthen or bullpen when we traded Jason Bartlett to the padres for Adam Russel and Cesar Ramos. These guys are both potential bull pen guys as well as Jake Mcgee in our minor league system could be an potential closer. The problem I think is a first base because putting Zobrist there would be a waste of a great utility player where he can play anywhere and im not a believer on Dan Johnson potential to be a everyday 1b men. But he rays GM Andrew Friedman is going to figure out a very clever way of filling the 1rst base role with a possible trade of Matt Garza who can get some serious value in return. And are starting pitching is the one thing we have quite a bit of because if Garza gets traded then we can just put in the Minor league pitcher of the year Jeremy Hellickson.
