    Can I switch gears here for a moment? I'm enthralled with the Phils/Yanks farm system discussion, but gotta ask you guys this. Where do we see the Rays this year? Do they still contend in the division despite losing key guys? How much does Manny add to the team?

    And speaking of the Rays, just read this on hardball talk:

    "This season marks Zimmer’s 63rd consecutive year in professional baseball (major and minor leagues), and although baseball doesn’t keep track of longevity in both leagues, it’s likely that Zimmer’s streak is second only to legendary Connie Mack, a Hall of Famer who spent 64 consecutive seasons in pro ball, most of them managing the Philadelphia Athletics. Since 2004, Zimmer has been the Tampa Bay Rays’ senior baseball adviser."
    "FF, I've heard the droning about the Sawx being the baby dolls. Yeah, I get it, you guys invented baseball and suffered forever. I get it." -JearlPam0925

    I think the rays could go either way. I could see them being .500 or I could see them making the playoffs. One of the guys on fangraphs.com gave his picks for his best bets on team over/unders. His best bet is the phils under 97 wins. He also loves the rays over...which I think is 91 wins.

    I wish manny would go away. i think he's super annoying.

    One more week. Tomorrow is the last Thursday without baseball until October.

    he is def super annoying but i'd take him anyday over bum knees beltran. i can't see the rays making the playoffs. loosing graza and crawford will hurt them badly.
    Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
    Sammi: Wanna just break up?

    woohooo ... jays are 4th in prospects ... pretty amazing job by AA improving the major league squad in each his years while adding talent in the farm system ...

    i think if the jays can stay above .500 for the year - it'll be a great season ...

    hellickson could be an upgrade over garza. replacing crawford with damon should hurt them.

    I think matt joyce could put up huge numbers. They need to give him a shot to play more.

    T-minus one week. These hoop tourney games are like the appetizer before a kick ass meal

    45 so-called experts
    33 of them say the Sox win the WS

    See this target on our backs? It's almost as big as Manny's ego.

    fangraphs counted down all 30 teams in their org rankings this week. the top 5 came out today.

    yanks first, red sox second, phils third. rankings were based on current roster, farm system, budget/spending ability, etc. here are the yankee/phils links. good shit.
