Rays eyeing Luke Scott and Delmon Young

Young is the best fit for each other, they need a hitter, and he needs a job being a hitter.

Rays should sign both Young and Scott...perhaps Lee too. They need offense.

they always can sign brooks conrad as their DH, who knows? it may work after a few games,,,,

The big problem with Young is that he's a pretty crappy hitter.He'd probably do a little better than Carlos Lee, though.

carlos lee its done in the baseball business, but the rays still can sign another little hitters from some minor league system though,,,

delmong young would be another tough option to be considered,,, ofcourse as long he doesn't ask too much money in one year deal,,,

the rays should be able to make some tough noise in the 2013 season,,,,,but it could be very hard and difficult task,, don't forget the orioles are too tough, the yankees are a difficult team, the jays are in all the way up to the division goal,,,the red sox would have to prove themselves and that could be a stumble for rays as well!!

I live in Tampa and I'd like to see this team play somewhere more deserving than the Trop. Even if it means they have to relocate.

It is amazing what a DH can command for salary for such a specialized position. Almost any Joe Blow would take a million dollars for a one year contract - but that person has to hit a cutter from Rivera when necessary. See specialized talent - still for a million bucks most people think you won the lottery. In baseball that is an insulting one year offer

Fewpeople have hit Mo's cutter, specialised or not, we will see what he has left.

Scott is the best fit. He'll be back in top form this season, he wants to stay, and the Rays had been eyeing him for years prior to last season. No doubt they'll sign him again. The guessing game is getting just plain silly at this point. Put the team together and get the show on the road!

Too many Jews in Tampa. Plus, Delmon is not a very good hitter anymore. Pass on that TB.

To many Jews in Tampa for whom exactly? Flip that around alil. Let's say someone said "there's to many people on welfare in Detroit...". What would your response be....

I'm Jewish. And my family came over from Europe and settled in Tampa 80 years ago. It was a reflection upon Delmon Young's anti-Semitic tirade. Nothing more, nothing less.
