They might need to add another run producing bat to the lineup (Holliday, Bradley, Bay) and another quality bullpen arm or two (Fuentes, Sherrill, Rauch, Guardado), but with the best farm system in baseball by a long shot, they've definitely got the pieces to make a run at any big name that comes along as the deadline approaches and not completely hamper themselves heading forward... This team has very much arrived, whether some of you want to admit it or not...

And I just read a piece in the ESPN about how difficult it is for small market teams to get relevant, and they used the Rays' CEO as an interviewee. He mentioned that they had enough money to make a very lucrative offer to Johan Santana, but it would have screwed them over for the next 11 years if they won him; he was making the point that they can't reasonably just go out and buy Johnny All Star every year, because they simply can't afford to. And he mentioned how their farm system development has to remain top-notch, so their scouts are far more important to them than scouts of other large-market teams. It was a good little piece, and it makes me even more impressed with the Rays' success so far.

This is a good young team tho, so they do have a bright future regardless of what they do the rest of this season.

Yea true, but you have to understand something. The Blazers winning streak was a little part of their season. This Rays team has been winning all year, and they've swept the Red Sox twice. They're also beating down on everybody. They have the best record in baseball (which the Blazers didn't have) and the whole world has been waiting for them to collapse, and it hasn't happened yet. They really look impressive. They have 1 thing that every major league team would want. Great pitching. Shields, Garza, Kaz. As a Yankee fan, I'm a bit nervous about this team. I keep telling myself, "they'll fold within the next 10 games" and it hasn't happened. When Jeter goes back to .300 the bandwagon will not be accepting any passengers.

Except that the Blazers started the season starting 5-12, went 18-2 in an 20 game stretch early, and never won more than 2 games in a row after that... The Blazers got hot for one quarter of their schedule and were extremely mediocre after that... The Rays have been extremely impressive over the entire first HALF of their season (80+ games), and swept series against some of the best teams in baseball... Their pitching staff being one of the 5 best in baseball isn't a fluke. Them being a very solid defensive team that doesn't make many errors isn't a fluke. The only thing you can even pick apart about their season so far is that the offense is right about middle of the pack in the AL. Yet another unfounded FR3SH prediction that we'll never hear the reasoning behind...

If the Rays can at least get to the postseason and starting winning a lot of games the next few seasons, their fanbase will grow drastically. -DRAMA SQUAD-\|Team Philippines\|TEAMKINGKOOPA #24 ATLANTAFALCONS x PHILLYEAGLES 2008

Im not going to say that I know all this information, but that little bit of info is what alot of people overlook. The small market clubs dont have the money to throw around like being at a strip club. Thats what impresses me the most about this situation. Kudos to the Rays, I hope they keep it up (even if I am a Jays fan) _TeamJays_
