Good news for St. Petersburg's Rays
 The future is looking brighter for the St. Pete Rays since the MLB draft. We are in desperate need for help with pitching and currently have a tremendous void needing to be filled by a left hander. David Price should fill the bill. We are hoping he does fantastically in the minor leagues and comes to the "show" sooner than later. Below are excerpts from MLB.com and the best endorsement of all... Rays make Price top overall pick ST. PETERSBURG -- David Price became the top pick of Major League Baseball's 2007 First-Year Player Draft on Thursday when the Devil Rays exercised the first pick to select the junior left-hander from Vanderbilt University. "You can't really think about that," Price said. "You just have to have fun and play baseball, and that's what I did. I just continued to have fun. ... Go out there and have fun, and everything else will take care of itself." "I'll probably buy a pair of shoes," said Price when asked what he would purchase first. Price has a nice body of work, but most impressive could be the performance he put forth for as the ace of the USA Baseball National Team's gold medal-winning squad that competed at the FISU World University Championships in Cuba last summer. Price finished 5-1 with a 0.20 ERA in eight starts, with 61 strikeouts and only seven walks in 44 innings. Rays scouting director R.J. Harrison said that Price is everything the organization is looking for in a frontline Major League starter. "He's got a knockout pitch with his breaking ball," Harrison said. "When he's at his best, he's like any top pitcher; his fastball command is well above average." The best endorsement comes from my son Tom McKay and his wife Shelia: "Shelia and I have known David since he was 6 or 7 years old at church. He is a great young man who deserves all the great accolades that are coming his way. I encourage you to read about the 6’ 5 left hander from Murfreesboro who lead Vandy to a #1 ranking most of the year. " |
