Very interesting in what the test came positive back for. We'll have to hear more about it, but he may have been taking something that some people may not have believed possible to show up in testing.

Rays sign Matt Moore for 5 yrs

Shields, Price, Hellickson, Moore. Not a bad starting crew. Now we just need some offense and a few fans.

I think you'll see the Rays deal either Wade Davis or Jeff Niemann before the start of this season.

If Alex Cobb is ready to be the number five starter this year, I'd like to see them deal Niemann for a decent reliever and move Davis to the bullpen. Davis has the makeup of a really good 7th and 8th inning guy, super intense and focused but fizzles quickly.

Definitely a good problem to have for them, with 8 very capable starting pitchers ready to go at a moments notice. They really need to focus on getting some offense for next year.

I don't understand the Yankees' refusal to get more starting pitching. They clearly don't have the pitching required to win. 2012 is going to be another bad year for them.
