I personally believe they shoud've went after K-Rod, offered him the most $$$ and signed him. The Rays and K-rod would have been a perfect fit considering the condition of the Ray's bullpen. Percival is reaching 40 and Wheeler isn't going to cut it!
I know the Rays don't have much money to spend...but they gotta spend some money to keep up with the Yanks and Sox right?

Why should they ? That's not what got them to the world series last season. The Rays are fine as they are. History tells us that spending the most money doesn't equal to a championship. Just ask the Yankees!

I disagree. I think there bullpen is fine and if anything need another starting pitcher. Sure Kazmir and Shields are awesome but what about the rest of them?
Besides, Rays aren't a free agent kind of team, they build all there talent up through the farm system. I can't see them spending on a star, maybe picking up a role player here and there.

The Rays are smart enough not to waste money on K-Rod he is going to crap out in 2 or 3 years.

They'll only spend money on veterans that will lead they're team, or an unheard rookie. Keep in mind that getting to the WS isn't giving you $1000000 for free. You have to be great for a long generations of time.

They need to make some money before they spend more. If I were them, I would keep that team in tact and go for the gusto this year.
They'll beat out the Yankees again, and then Boston in the playoffs, and Hankenstein will blow his brains out.
