Earlier in the year the team came to terms with second baseman Damion Easley, who was released by the Detroit Tigers. People in Tampa, though, hope this signing turns out a little better, as Easley is hitting a mere .169. However, at the league minimum who can argue with the Devil Rays brass for taking a chance. The same could be said about volatile reliever John |
