Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Evan Longoria is off to a pretty good start to his major league career. After spending the first two weeks of the season in the minors, Longoria was called up and in 3 games he is batting .444 with a homer and 2 RBI. While I expect Longoria to have his ups and downs just like any other play I firmly believe from what I've read (last night was my first chance to see him play and I slept through it) that he is going to be a star in this league for many years to come.
Justin Upton of the Diamondbacks is also going to be a star with Longoria through the next decade. And the Reds have a centerfield prospect named Jay Bruce who is rated higher than both of them, and he could be called up soon, if they can move Ken Griffey.
Don't Tase Me Bro
Tampa Bay pitcher Al Reyes tried to celebrate his 38th birthday in style. On April 10th he and some friends went out to a bar and got into a fight with some other patrons. Reyes fell against a ceramic pot in the bar then picked a fight with the guy he thought pushed him. During the fight got punched in the face, then when police arrived he had to be Tasered twice. That night he pitched two thirds of an inning and got the win in a game against the Orioles.
Reyes was charged with affray, a legal term for a brawl, which I had never heard before.
Cool Picture of the Week
Randy Johnson is back, allowing 0 earned runs over 5 innings. No birds were harmed in the throwing of this pitch.
