Team History:
The Devil Rays compiled a 28-61 first-half record in 2005, which included just eight wins on the road. But they overcame a lot of problems - many of which were injury related - to grow into a different team in the second half and finished over .500 after the All-Star break. Scott Kazmir came into his own as a pitcher; Carl Crawford continued to ripen as one of the game's best all-around young talents; Jonny Gomes, given the chance to play, proved he belonged in the Major Leagues; and Jorge Cantu emerged as an offensive force, leading the team in home runs and RBIs. Lou Piniella finished his tenure as manager of the team and at the end of the season, a group led by Stuart Sternberg, took over ownership of the franchise.

Season Preview:
He's only 25, but Rocco Baldelli's career has already taken plenty of twists and turns. He was a star for two seasons before blowing out his left knee, and just when it looked like he'd finished rehabbing, doctors had bad news: His sore right elbow needed Tommy John surgery. "A nightmare," says Baldelli, who got permission to travel with the Rays while on the DL. When he returned in early June of last year, it was as if he'd never been away. He batted .302, with 46 extra-base hits in 92 games -- and relished every moment: "It's hell not playing." The Rays are spilling over with young guys who can hit and run and throw. But the exchange rate for position players has never been lower. Five years ago, they could have dealt a Carl Crawford type for an ace, but now he might yield only a No. 3. So the club hopes to grow its own pitchers organically, starting with prospects Jeff Niemann and Mitch Talbot. GM Andrew Friedman says he'd love to see both in the rotation by July, but the Rays need them to thrive for the team to be relevant anytime soon. The 6-foot-9 Niemann has only 108 career IPs because of injuries, so he'll start in Triple-A. The Rays are aiming to ensure he's more Scott Kazmir than Dewon Brazelton.
