Rays need superutility AND loogy
FROM TAMPABAY.COM
-- The team is still seaking a superutility player, more likely through trade than via the free-agent market, Friedman said, and perferably one who can play both all three outfield positions. With Rocco Baldelli's health unclear, the Rays currently don't have a backup centerfielder to B.J. Upton, but internal possibilities like Justin Ruggiano exist. They will also try Joel Guzman and Chris Richard in the outfield this spring.
-- The search for a left-handed reliever continues (also through the trade market), but Maddon said there are other possibilities, including moving Howell to the pen if he doesn't make the rotation.-- The search for a left-handed reliever continues (also through the trade market), but Maddon said there are other possibilities, including moving Howell to the pen if he doesn't make the rotation.

Maybe they'd want Morse.

We can't trade Morse!
(which, seriously...the lineup sucks this year)

I like Morse.

But, but, but...
Surely he'll pan out and have a HOF career in the end! If only he hadn't been blocked by veterans, he'd probably be lighting it up by now.

Jackson is an unrefined power arm,

I just think he's kinda got a lot of irrational

He had/has appeal as a cheap #5 upgrade

I agree with that

Lefties
First, what does the scouting report look like for Eric O'Flaherty and Ryan Rowland-Smith?
Second, What do you think of Vidro's and Morse's defensive capabilities at different positions?
And third, where do these guys fit into the M's plans for the next year(s)?
Thanks in advance.

Seriously...
- Eric looks like a career reliever; not quite a LOOGY stud as Sherrill, but pretty good. RRS is a borderline starter material, and also quite good out of the pen.
- Vidro and Morse are probably best thought of as 1B...if anything....out in the field.
- Vidro's being counted on as DH, RRS and EOF as part of the bullpen, Morse not at all. (In my book, that's kinda backwards, but....)
