Cerbaho-WG Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Without Greg Vaughn, Tampa Bay's projected payroll is 15 million dollars. Rocco Baldelli is penciled in as the starting CF for the Rays, and Carl Crawford and Marlon Anderson will be flanking him. Then, for an infield, expect to see Travis Lee, Brent Abernathy, Rey Ordonez, and maybe Jared Sandberg at 3rd. At catcher, you have Toby Hall. Starting pitcher is Joe Kennedy. Now, look at AAA Charlotte. Outfield of Joe Borchard, Baughman/Durham, Scott Bikowski/Someone. Infield of Battersby/Hankins at first, Willie Harris and 2nd, Aaron Miles at SS, and Hummel at 3rd. Catcher of Jamie Burke most liekly. Starting pitcher would most likely be Jon Rauch. Now, who would win this lackluster game of 20 soemthings? I'm inclined to say the D-Rays, but I have no clue. I'll be surprised if the Rays win 50 games this year, honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac9001 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Charlotte has better pitching, Tampa has better hitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 And Tampa has a helluva manager too. This would be a dogfight....but I'd have to say Tampa Bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesox247 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Close one...but I have to give it to the DRays just because they're a big league ballclub Talent wise...Charlotte all the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipWellsFan Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I'd say Tampa has better talent with potential Stars in Baldelli Crawford and possibly Colome in the pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
