Put Sonnanstine in long relief and call up Price. I still believe the team will ultimately trade Kazmir - not now, but thinking longer term, thus creating a spot for Davis. I think Niemann really belongs on this team.

Speaking purely in baseball terms, Price; he has the experience and "stuff". I will admit I have not seen Davis pitch, but what I have seen of Price he has been impressive. In prospecting terms, Wade please

Why has Davis been getting pulled so early in minor league starts this year? Pitch count?

No need to give a guy like Davis "a shot" when you KNOW what to expect from D Price
As a history buff, Wade-Davis Bill = blah.

Going good, thanks. Glad you voted for Davis.
Good to hear. We actually got to talk with Davis a few minutes at the Bulls game we went to a couple of weeks ago.... seems like a really nice kid, one big guy too.

As good as Price is, everyone needs to recognize that Tampa is building a team, not one good pitcher. Davis has been doing it longer (and probably better) in the minors than Price. I'd like to see him get his shot. What else does he have to prove?? If you don't bring Davis up now, then just get rid of him.

What to do with Hellickson and Alex Cobb?
Rays have a lot of pitching.

This was the best question asked and nobody seems to care.
Pitchers B/T Ht Wt DOB
50 Grant Balfour R/R 6-2 195 12/30/77
31 Lance Cormier R/R 6-1 200 08/19/80
22 Matt Garza R/R 6-4 215 11/26/83
39 J.P. Howell L/L 6-0 180 04/25/83
19 Scott Kazmir L/L 6-0 190 01/24/84
46 Joe Nelson R/R 6-1 205 10/25/74
34 Jeff Niemann R/R 6-9 260 02/28/83
40 Troy Percival R/R 6-3 255 08/09/69
33 James Shields R/R 6-4 220 12/20/81
52 Brian Shouse L/L 5-10 190 09/26/68
21 Andy Sonnanstine L/R 6-3 190 03/18/83
35 Dan Wheeler R/R 6-3 220 12/10/77
so, they have in their rotation
L Kaz
R Garza
R Shields
R Sonny
R Niemann
and then in the pen
L Howell (long)
R Balfour (long)
R Cormier (long)
L Shouse (short)
R Wheeler (setup)
R Nelson (setup)
R Percy (closer)
So if they're sending down a starter you don't NEED a lefty or righty, but if you're sending down a bullpen arm it becomes more important.
You can't send down shouse and NOT bring up price.
You could send down a cormier and bring up either.

Thank you, I voted for price because I could only think of 1 LHP for the rays, Kazmir (however I am not familiar with their bull pen). Another lefty in the rotation could be what the Rays need to be in contention for the top spot.Mudcatsfan said:darocker80 said:Does TB need a lefty or righty

I don't think the L/R thing makes as much difference for the starters. They made the WS last year with only one lefty starter. They just need a starter who doesn't throw BP like Sonny.

I think they should send them both out of town...Durham that is.
I'm tired of being able to see two aces pitch every couple days. It's annoying.
