In continuing our series of interviews with people in and around the game of baseball we're joined by friend of the site and sports writing vagabond extraordinaire, Jonah Keri. We talk about Crawford, Bradley, instant replay, the financial state of the game, and two young LOOGYS on the rise. Enjoy. EH: Lets kick this off with the $64,000 question. Crawford and the Rays , what happens? JK: Depends on...

Though Boston’s Northeastern University has produced such sporting ’sphere icons as Reggie Lewis, Chris Nilan, Carlos Pena, the late Will McDonough and Don Orsillo, Sean Jones and Dan Ross, aside, the school has never been widely known as a football hotbed. As such, it will surprise few to learn that some 14 years after Boston [...]

Joe Mauer has been named the 2009 American League MVP. Ben Zobrist 8th place finish, was the highest ever for the Rays. Zobrist’s highest vote was a sixth-place vote. Evan Longoria finished 19th. Carlos Pena had the highest finish ever by the Rays in the AL MVP voting with 9th place finishes in 2007 and 2008. He also [...]

by Jim Prisching - AP I know the Spiderman joke doesn't entirely make sense other than my insistence on saying Kapler plays the field like a spider on acid ... but his arms here seem to support my theory on Kapler's arachnid nature.

More photos » by Reinhold Matay - AP Browse more photos » On Monday afternoon, I fully expect Joe Mauer to win his first MVP award after finishing sixth in 2006 and fourth last year. Joe led the AL in batting average while hitting for respectable power (28 HRs) in only 138 games, most of which were as a catcher. He led the Twins into the postseason after they trailed by three games with...

Ponder this question, answer it, and then mentally rank the options in order from one to five. Leave full rankings in the comments section. And no Fangraphs-peeking allowed! No worries, the answer will be coming at 10 AM today. **For those that haven't heard of wRAA, imagine the question this way: who has provided the Rays with the most offensive value during their time with the Rays'** Poll Who do...

Carlos Pena was also reinstated from the 60-day DL. These moves are pretty much procedural. Jennings and Hellickson were going nowhere, and same with Torres -- although I don't believe he was eligible for this year's Rule 5. This maxes out the 40-man and leaves a few notable players -- Aneury Rodriguez, Nevin Ashley, Ryan Reid, etc. -- unprotected from the Rule 5 draft barring further roster moves...

Tommy Rancel of DRaysbay makes a pretty convincing case for his Rays to trade Carlos Pena. The 31 y/o left handed first baseman is on the last year of a contract in which he'll earn 10.12MM for the season. Pena is a classic late bloomer who bounced between four teams before becoming a starter at the age of 28 y/o. The Rangers, Tigers, Red Sox and Yankees all gave up on him before he became the Rays...

Tommy Rancel of DRaysBay explains why now might be the time for the Rays to explore trading 1B Carlos Pena, who will earn $10 million next season, after which he can be a free agent. The Red Sox have released 26–year-old C George Kottaras, making him a free agent, according to WEEI Radio. Kottaras [...]

Here's my first 2005 Upper Deck pack, purchased as part of a repack box sometime in the past couple of months. Some of the less interesting stuff that I open tends to sit around for awhile, and I'd probably say that this fits. The design is full-bleed like many Upper Deck sets, but is also fairly forgettable at the same time. 354 - Angel Berroa 315 - David Ortiz (It's hard for me to totally hate David...

The Rays announced today that Evan Longoria won his first Gold Glove Award. Dirtbag is just the second Ray to win the award (Carlos Pena, ‘08). “It’s the one award that I’ve wanted to win since I started pro ball,” Longoria said. “I take a lot of pride in my defense, so this award is very [...]

He is one of the few winners of the mark of "defensive excellence" that actually deserves to be crowned.
