**The Official 2009 Season TB Rays Thread**

^I just hope Burrell produces next year.

I think he will, looks like were getting Soriano from the Braves. Tampa Bay Rays close to trade for Braves closer Rafael Soriano - St. Petersburg Times

That'll be a nice pickup,for sure.

And FUCK the Yankees for getting Granderson.Complete fucking bullshit.

Salary cap/Salary cap/Salary cap!

We need to lock in all of our star athletes, so that boston/yankees don't end up steeling them. Then again, there is still a chance it could happen.

I hate that the Rays are talking about maybe trading Crawford, I doubt it will happen tho. He's been on the team longer then anyone.

Soriano was a good pick up, he has some good stuff. I wonder who's gonna get Halladay, I still think the Rays should go after him. He already said he would like to play for us. I heard recently that he wants to go to a team that has their spring training close to home in Odessa (Rays, Phillies, Yankees, Red Sox) I just hope he doesn't go to the new york or boston.

Soriano is a so so closer,and as you seen last year..we need a closer. ..Not a MR pitcher,playing closer.

I highly doubt they will trade CC,they just locked him in for a few years?Or atleast I thought I read that some where.

If they do trade him,that will be a sad day,extremely.He's a pretty big producer off the team,and can take a single..steal 2nd/3rd,and normally be a easy run.

/fingers crossed.
