The Rays Party:  Right Move Made

Right Move Made
The Rays Party — The Rays are not as dumb as they have been percieved in the past couple of weeks. Instead of sending out Andy Sonnanstine again, the smart move was made to give Wade Davis Sonny's rotation spot. This will put Sonnanstine in the bullpen and Davis his second career MLB start on Saturday at Boston. The reasons for this move were pretty obvious but here are some links if you don't believe me or want just something to read: Pro- Wade Davis, Con- Andy Sonnanstine. Sonnanstine might be able to get some at-bats his way with the offense reeling in New York.
