Crawford makes case for Rays roster
Carl Crawford hopes to simplify manager Joe Maddon's decision to possibly place him on the playoff roster. He'll get his last chance to make that point in a second rehab game with the Rays' instructional league team today at Tropicana Field. Crawford's first opportunity went well by his estimation, despite finishing 0-for-4 on Monday against Pittsburgh minor-leaguers. "I think I did enough today," said Crawford, who had surgery on Aug. 14 to repair tendon damage to his right middle finger. "I didn't get hits, but I showed them bat speed and (today) I'll probably do the same thing. If it's a tough decision after that, I really don't know what to say." Maddon watched Crawford play before departing for a meeting, and they did not discuss the leftfielder's future.

I'd keep him on the roster even if just to use him for defense in late innings and/or pinch running
