I wonder about Garza and Shields as well. Can they do it again?Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548707517391398364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780276584364604867.post-79117727437084895132009-03-12T21:03:00.000-04:002009-03-12T21:03:00.000-04:00Oh man.

I understand what you are saying, but think it is an exaggeration to say everything went right for the Rays last season.<BR/><BR/>Carl Crawford missed 50 games because of injury and had the worst year of his career. They only had one pitcher go over 200 innings, Kazmir missed a month, and their closer missed the last two months of the season as well.<BR/><BR/>In addition to that, Upton is a beast, 24 years old, and will only get better. Same with Longoria, who is 23, and will be with them for the whole season this time.<BR/><BR/>Long story short, I would not be surprised if the Rays won 100 games this season, and I think they are a lock for 90 +.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00742159228200876688noreply@blogger.com
