Rays are using some elements of the JimBo school of team building. Yunel Escober, Fausto Carmona/Roberto Hernandez. Luke Scott made some headlines for throwing banana chips at a black teammate and generally being a racist nut (article here - http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/otl/news/story?id=6395744).
They also tried to bring Manny back for one more run a couple of years ago.
I guess they have to be a little creative. What's Elijah Dukes up to these days?
take a flyer on Milledge, still only 27, put up solid numbers in AAA in 2011 and in Japan last year.
