DateQuestionAnswer
2008-06-23 12:00:00Wouldn't the Rays be better served to give Justin Ruggiano an extended look instead of dealing for any right fielder?
(R.J. from Beyond the Boxscore)		Well, until this year, I'd say yes. But if you have a chance to make the playoffs, you have to go for it. I don't think the Rays will be experimenting this year because they are a legit contender. (John Perrotto)
2008-03-14 13:00:00Do you see the Rays bringing Kenny Lofton or someone else to replace Rocco ?
(Tommy from OPS,FL)		I don't think they need to with Gomes around and the possibility that they could bring up someone like Justin Ruggiano or Fernando Perez. As good as Baldelli can be, I don't think this is a case where they have to react to strongly. (Steven Goldman)
