**The Official 2009 Season TB Rays Thread**

[BGRIF]

I see nothing but good from any of that honestly.

Even thought I do like Zaun as a catcher,he is old.

Percy's gonna retire..Isringhausen(sp?) is injury plagued.

Shouse..garb..

Bradford..ehhh..mediocre at best..

Springer..not a fan..

So,let's free up some room.$$$$

Those are the guys I want gone also. I hope the Rays don't sign them again, Zaun is decent but getting up there in age. I want the Red Sox's to let Martinez go so we can get him That chavez guy looks promising. I'm gonna be pissed if the Rays don't do much in the offseason kinda like during the trade deadline. We could of had Lee, Halladay, or Martinez.

Next season the Rays will show up again

Absolutely.I think this off-season is gonna be quite interesting.

I see the Rays gaining atleast one high dollar player.If not two.

[BGRIF]

Since Aki is out, we should use that money to get a permanent right-fielder, starting pitcher, or catcher

Desmond Jennings and Jeremy Hellickson are two guys they need to bring up from aaa. Joyce should start in right unless they find someone else. I seen that Jermaine Dye is a free agent now but he's wants big bucks tho.

Crawford is coming back... Red Sox signed Martinez.

[GingersRPeople2]

^that's really good news!

[Skittle]

I had a feeling the Red Sox wouldnt let him go,he put some NICE numbers up there.

And CC is here for good,I think he'll retire a Ray,unless a shit storm happens next year.

[PoppaSmurf]

no way he was or is going anywhere, its either victor martinez, or jason varitek behind the plate...kinda speaks for itself. nice to see you guys come back to earth this year

[BGRIF]

Maybe we can get Varitek ha he becomes a free agent in a couple more days

[GingersRPeople2]

^i'm in for varitek...
