Good Pick , D-Rays still should have taken Rickie Weeks

Probably Delmon will eventually play first for the d-rays if they keep that young OF intact. Delmon is a monster hitter though. That is, if he makes it.

With Rocco, Huff and Crawford, they have the makings of a good little outfield. I think Lou will turn this team around in the next couple years.

A Devil Ray thread.

This is a cool forum.

I for some reason have not thrown in the towel on Josh hamilton and with some of the solid outings of our young pitchers recently, we should turn things around in a few years. Im sure everyone rememebers how bad the bucs where for over 10 years.

I go to about 20 games a year and at least they are fun to watch. They also have made me a bunch of money this year.

As much as I love this outfield, they are short on power for todays game. All three have all-star potential though. Carl will win the SB title this year, Rocco will be fav to win ROY, and Aubrey is going to hit 30 dingers. The thing that you can really see taking shape with the D-RAYS is their starting staff. They have a chance to be fairly decent with more experience.

Aubrey Huff was a star at Miami, was always overlooked for some reason, guy can flat out hit

Carl was wanted by Nebraska and UCLA for football

Rocco is the real deal, speed and power
