Bottom Line Jake is killing it. 429 batting average and leads the team in RBI and HR.

If the Rays are too stupid to use him, I hope they trade him to someone that will. Mangum's AAA stats were far exceeding the boring and useless prospects that Tampa Bay promoted last year.
Jake had a slow 1st week but has been killing it since. Actually TB has some good prospects coming up in the minors. Thats if they keep them. ButJake should make the opening day roster at least as a utility player.
I really want to see Jake make it in the majors. But he just turned 29 years old. I think that hurts him because many times teams prefer a younger developing player. Maybe he can stick as a 4th outfielder.
The other outfielders are 27-28 so might not be too much of an issue.Quote:

Think we would all like to see him stick, even for just a little while.
Jake got sent down today. Makes no sense.
Well that stinks.Quote:

An oppo in the hole of course for his first hit.
And if I knew how to embed a video I'd be dangerous.
3/3 including a double 2 rbi and a stolen base. Hell. Yesssss!
Well he will get another start. Good job, Jake
And it doesn't get any better than that! It's taken a little while to get there but Jake's making the most of the opportunity!Quote:
