"Carl Crawford thinks the Rays have what it takes to narrow the gap between themselves and perennial AL East powers Boston and New York.Tampa Bay improved its pitching staff, bolstered the defense and added some veteran leadership that the team's most accomplished young player thinks will make a difference on and off the field.He stopped short of echoing pitcher Scott Kazmir's contention that the Rays are talented enough to contend for a playoff spot. Still, he's clearly excited by the prospect for a push for the club's first-ever winning season (ESPN)".
Ok, Mr. Crawford take it easy, you know damn well your team has no shot at the playoffs. Even if Kazmir has the year of his life, you are still in a division with the Red Sox and Yankees (not to mention a decent Blue Jays team). The best this team can hope for is to be around .500, and that is if are lucky. But damnit I respect your enthusiasm Carl, because if I was you I would have demanded a trade about 3 years ago.
-Prediction= 4th in A.L. East (about 75 wins)
