As part of our season preview, FanHouse asked bloggers from around the internet to write a poem previewing their team's upcoming season in a series entitled MLB Poetry Previews. It's like high school English class, except about baseball!
For today's poem, we remain in house and remind y'all: The Rays are working hard to build up their young core!
Let's get this out on the table right away
The Rays may not be in contention, but they'll still fun to watch play
Kazmir, Shields, and Garza:
Three young pitchers with lots of hutzpa
It's a young team, which is great for the future years
The only old folks are Percival, Floyd and Reyes and they'll be able to mentor their peers
The unfortunate story of the Rocco Baldelli is a huge bust
He was a bright point on the team but he'll be on the sideline collecting rust
I'd love to see them give the Sox and Yanks a run for their money
But it won't be this year, honey
Oh, and by the way:
I wouldn't rule out a Bonds signing if in July he lowers his expected pay!
