Ty Wigginton

Sad to report we could not pull it off last night, but we still put up 9 runs and Wigginton stepped up big leaving the yard twice. I first saw Ty Wigginton play last season, and I liked what I saw. He is only about 6 feet tall, but he has a great glove, and can play anywhere. So far this season he is hitting .321 about 70 points above the league average, and hopefully will keep it up.

I am also happy to report that we are currently beating the Rangers 6-1 in the 5th trying to avoid the sweep. Our boy Wigginton is 2-2 so far with a big RBI double, and Zobrist has hit one out of the park. Rocco and Crawford have switched in the lineup with Rocco leading off now, hopefully this change in scenery will give him more fastballs, and he will get hot.
Only 2 Hits for Shields through 5, one of them being a homerun to center by Rangers Shortstop Michael Young. Michael Young is a player one would love to build a franchise around from what I hear. He is just a player who makes plays, and everybody likes. Ill update later tonight.

GO RAYS

P.S. 21 year old phenom King Felix Hernandez lost his no hitter to JD Drew in the 8th against the Red Sox. But the king is up 3-0 and has given up 1 hit and 1 walk and struck out 5. Plus hes on my fantasy team ;)
