Even if they go on a huge winning streak, they would still be trailing the Yanks by the time our playoffs roll around. <br /><br />As much as the Rays have been stuggling, they still have a shot at the playoffs. They still have two series against both Texas and Boston (home and away on both of them), so they have to feel like they have some control of their playoff hopes.DRRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502524904778687735.post-19371464975537634172009-08-16T11:45:53.292-04:002009-08-16T11:45:53.292-04:00That's a real hemmorhoid organization they'...That's a real hemmorhoid organization they've got down there in FL.

Hughes was apparently not seen as a prospect and, as a result, now no depth at 1B (unless you count Aybar). We, of course, would count Chris Richard, but I doubt that they do.Chris W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12266137926441160311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502524904778687735.post-84125869607688846092009-08-15T17:40:55.833-04:002009-08-15T17:40:55.833-04:00This is a bad move for the Rays.
