 Aybar’s Been Great in Longoria’s Absence
Aybar’s Been Great in Longoria’s Absence
When the Rays lost their best player in Evan Longoria everyone, including me, thought it would be impossible for the Rays to fill the hole that was left at thirdbase. The Rays inserted Willy Aybar as the starter at thirdbase and he has done nothing but impress in Longoria’s absence.

 Youk For MVP?
Youk For MVP?
Is there a player in the American League that has been more valuable to his team than Kevin Youkilis this season? A strong argument can be made for Tampa's Evan Longoria, but I think Youk beats him out. Let's look at his current numbers: He is second in batting average for the AL at .322 (just 1 point behind Pedroia). He is tied for 10th in HR's and is 5th in RBI's. Youk has been a monster in the
