Baldelli Report:
Rocco boarded a plane to Tampa Bay to be evaluated by the team. He has hit well in AA and could be up with the Rays very soon.
Price Watch:
David Price pitched 7 innings of 4 hit ball at AA yesterday. He deserves a call up to the majors. He has just destroyed minor league pitching and could help us down the stretch either in the pen or starting

Roster News:
FINALLY Gary Glover was designated for assignment Monday. He just could not hold a lead or keep the Rays in contention. Hopefully he can get his act together in AAA and come back. Now it is time to trade for a bullpen guy and a power bat.
Rumor Central:
Beltre anyone?
According to MLB.com Beat writers, the Rays have inquired about Mariners third baseman Adrian Beltre. He would be the power bat the Rays are looking for to boost the lineup. He would most likely DH since we have third base reserved for Evan Longoria.
Tonight’s Game:
It would be great to get the series off on the right track by winning the first of three between the Rays and the Jays. This will show how we will fare in the rest of the series if we can beat AJ Burnett who needs to show teams interested in trading for him that it is worth it.
Look Ahead:
This will be a tough series for the Rays as they draw both AJ Burnett and Roy Halladay, two outstanding pitchers in the first two games of the series. They need to take 2 of 3 to hold off the Yankees and Red Sox. After this series they draw the Tigers back at the Trop. As many know, the Tigers are a great team who just can’t show it by record.
