When JoMa finally tries Escobar in the #2 hole(like he will with everyone in time), the offense will get more consistent production from the top

It's time that Longoria bats lead-off and Loney second...if you prescribe the current fad of having your best hitters get up in the first inning.

Why Maddon can be confident that pen will be one of the best pens in the league by the end of the season?
Commented on The Rays Tank: Happ in stable condition, bullpen too. on May 8 2013, 2:16p
Are we than to assume that Maddon is more about "building confidence" in some of the pen guys right now as oppossed to bringing in guys who have been effective?

C'mon, we all know that is not a ball that was hit during batting practice.

Most thought he would replace Upton's defense well enough and that the Rays could afford a drop off in his offense

He hasn't made any wild throws, thrown to the wrong base or misssed a cut-off man yet though.

I said consistent PT, meaning getting a chance to play for an extended period of time and getting 4 AB's for games at a time.
Commented on Rays Swap In Playing Time Coming on Apr 27 2013, 1:20p
It has to be very frustrating to hitters(or players in general) when they either know they are not going to be given consistent PT (and more importantly getting a lot of AB's)
