by Mike Carlson - AP Tampa Bay Rays' Matt Joyce, right, receives congratulations from teammate Gabe Gross. Now, he figures to replace Gross as the teams rightfielder. View full size photo » Thanks to baseball economics, Matt Joyce no longer figures to be left out of the right field equation.

Browse more photos » It is no secret that the Tampa Bay Rays are never going to be major spenders in the free agent market like their AL East Rivals, the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees .

In the last thread, GomesSweetGomes raised a good point about Gabe Kapler 's plate appearances versus right-handed pitchers. How many of those 64 plate appearances came in garbage time and how many cost the Rays during a close game? Using Baseball-Reference's Play Index tool, I found each of the right-handed pitchers Kapler batted against in 2009 and decided to look only at relievers. There are only...

Paul Phillips time in the sun. He topped out at 92, here's the movement graph: via www.brooksbaseball.net Looks like some four and two seam action, a slider, and some curves. Too small of a sample size to say much. --- Stephen Strasburg started today and gave up three home runs. This is a hitters' league, so whatever. --- Former Rays Joshua Butler ( Gabe Gross ) and Travis Schlichting ( Josh Paul )...

Browse more photos » The sad reality of this shuffling roster game we play is sometimes you have to say good-bye to valuable pieces of the puzzle that have become expendable either because of their own salary or other cheaper viable options. Akinori Iwamura most likely will be one of those players. Gabe Gross...

The numbers are there for Matt Joyce. His walk rate in Durham has gone to a career high, his power has dipped some but still top notch, and he has cut down on the strikeouts by about 5%. His power potential in the Majors is there and has seen an improvement hitting against left-handers in the past month . But should he have been up in the Majors earlier? One thing that comes to mind about Joyce is...

I'm no fan of Florida but I do quite like the song that supplies today's title, by New Orleans musician Fred LeBlanc. Scott Richmond is watching his chances to head into 2010 in the starting rotation evaporate as the season goes on. Richmond has been awful in September and wasn't all that good in August either, and is seeing his once very good season slip away. He'll try to turn it around today against...
