@JeremyT429 @JackFW24 @MLBNetwork Agree with you here. I don't think its pop they need. Just more balance since we're so top heavy with the big 3. We need a couple of bats that can make the back end of the line up more productive. Mullins turning things around, but corner OF, 2B and C are big holes

@ltw0303 @RaysBaseball If the Rays took Lackey in the draft would it be better to move Flewelling or Bodine + for Sirota?

[James Nguyen @JimmyWtf]

@Ry_Bass He's the face of this franchise now. He needs to sign a forever contract. Every thing he is makes up for "he who shall not be named ever, #5" We need to take all the money that was suppose to go to him and give it to Junior

@ECloskyWTSP I’d love to get Nootbar but I don’t see the Cards trading away players while they’re still in a spot to possibly make a wildcard but all that could change in a month

[James Nguyen @JimmyWtf]

@iAmNickWize I don't think it starts high until the Dodgers enter the fray and the bidding war starts. I think the Rays have the farm to match the Dodgers, but its more costly to us than them.

@benrosa Need an impact bat, more pitching always and I think you look for a veteran to upgrade as back up C like a Carantini.

[James Nguyen @JimmyWtf]

@benwhitelaw73 I agree. Defensively Lux is better, it’s more of the offensive production side of things with Arraez which I hope Lux can achieve some of it. He’s a career .330 obp guy which is fine. I was just dreaming of 2 of the best OBP guys in the league in front of Junior and Aranda

@benwhitelaw73 K Pot BBQ & Hotpot, original SariOne on Cypress, Matjoa up by Citrus Park for Korean. Yummy House China Bistro for Dim sum on weekends. Hale's Black Brick in Hyde Park. Big Ray's Fish Camp. Kanji Sushi and Ramen (my fav sushi in the area, but its in Brandon)

[James Nguyen @JimmyWtf]

@957WDAE @TKras Need impact bats to balance line up. We’re top heavy with big 3 and nothing in the middle or bottom. Any of - Luis Arraez, Jo Adell, Taylor Ward, Lars Nootbar, Byron Buxton or Trevor Larnach. Also 1 quality bullpen arm like Luke Weaver

@TBRaysCentral 60 day IL ankle sprain I hope

@TheELBushman @RaysBaseball 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[James Nguyen @JimmyWtf]

@benwhitelaw73 @draysbay Would the Rays be crazy enough to trade in division again for Taylor Ward? Imagining a lineup of

1. Ward
2. Arraez
3. Yandy
4. Junior
5. Aranda
6. Vilade
7. Mullins
8. Fortes
9. Walls

[James Nguyen @JimmyWtf]

@garbagetimerays They need to go get Arraez and I'd like Adell and role out this line up almost every day

DH Yandy Diaz R
2B Luis Arraez L
3B Junior Caminero R
1B Johnathan Aranda L
RF Jo Adell R
LF Ryan Vilade R
CF Cedric Mullins L
C Nick Fortes R
SS Taylor Walls S

@TBRaysCentral I'm in the optimist boat with you. I think we need a few pieces to be able to keep up. Namely some bullpen help and a couple of bats to make the team less top heavy.

[James Nguyen @JimmyWtf]

@ECloskyWTSP They need more offense to balance out the backend of the lineup. We’re too top heavy with the big 3. And we need more help in the bullpen. BP outside of Baker and Kelly has been less than mediocre

[James Nguyen @JimmyWtf]

@RaysTheRoofTB Look at the timing of this..lol Fangraphs just posted an article a few min ago.

[James Nguyen @JimmyWtf]

@RaysTheRoofTB @TBRaysCentral Has to get on base to be able to steal a base. He’s got like a .238 obp over the last month and he’s not K’ing a lot so that means that other teams have figured out how to pitch and position their guys to neutralize his speed and he hasn’t figured out how to adjust
