On-base-percentage lover Billy Beane chooses Frank Thomas over Bay-beloved Bay-bo [Reply to #5084] 4/26/08, 9:31am I'm really suprised the Rays didn't get Bonds. There was some serious talk that Tampa Bay was talking with Bonds. I'm not sure if this would have been a good move or not. It probably would have helped ticket sales in Tampa tremendously, but he such a distraction & I believe it actually could have affected team chemistry with Tampa. Don't laugh! This will be the best Tampa Bay Rays team since they have existed. They have some good young talent. They improved their pitching & they can score runs. I project atleast a 4th place finish in the AL East with atleast 80 wins. They are 12-11 right now. YAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! [drrubb from Panama City Beach/Florida] Replies:
