Rays amusing to musings

David Pinto at baseballmusings.com has analyzed the Tampa Bay Rays and believes they're for real.

While the Rays have been rumored to trade for aging Reds outfielder Ken Griffey Jr., who apparently has a home in Orlando, Pinto suggests another Reds outfielder is in Tampa's sights.
If you look at the aggregate offensive numbers of the fielding positions, the Rays have a good chance to improve run scoring. Leftfield, rightfield and designated hitter are three positions that could be upgraded in a trade, and DH should be the easiest of those to fill. Doesn't Adam Dunn fill that spot nicely?
Fantasy Impact: Dunn makes more sense than Griffey. He's younger, and he makes a bigger impact at this point in his career. If he goes to Tampa, he'll continue to produce -- unless he has a tough time adjusting to American League pitching -- which he's never seen on a consistent basis.
