We’re booking along now. At this pace we’ll be done with this slow mock draft by mid-June. It doesn’t matter how long it takes as long as you learn something, or at least laugh at us a little. Here’s the results from round two; a round where we see the first pitcher taken and...

This is going to be the shortest list so far as I rank the players by position. Why is that? Well, I’ll answer that, as well as many other questions that I know you all will ask before you can blow up my inbox with hate mail. B.J. Upton is not on this list, he’ll be in the outfield ranki...

James Shields pitches seven innings of shut out ball as Tampa Bay tops Philadelphia, 4-2, to tie the World Series at a game a piece....

Update 5:45 pm: B.J. Upton spoke after the game about the injury and was very optimistic. Lets all take a collective sigh of relief. From foxsports.com “I feel good. It’s happened five of the six seasons I have played, and once in high school,” Upton said. “It’s not...

For the second time in the past three games a Rays comeback ended on one pitch. Like Ramon Hernandez on Saturday against Dan Wheeler, Robinson Cano hit a solo shot off of Al Reyes ending the Rays chances at a come from behind victory.

For those who haven’t noticed, Spring Training is finally upon us! With my final steroid report (at least I hope) behind us, we can continue to focus on the players that will actually make a difference in the 2008 season. During the Rays Anatomy’s positional previews, we’ve tried ...

1. Chase Utley, PHI Third base production from your middle infielder—a four-category player who would’ve made a serious run at the National League’s MVP award in 2007 had he stayed healthy. He did miss 30 games with a broken right hand, but that didn’t stop Chase Utley from l...
