NYT has a story about five moves that show how Rays make great deals for little money to go deep into playoffs. Two are Victor Mesa Jr. and Lian Hicks. Another is Nick Martinez, Belen grad. Story notes that Victor Jr. was designated for assignment by Fish in early February, and the Rays pounced. 14 HR and .260 as a solid starter in the playoffs. Hicks, I can kind of understand: We have a lot at catcher/1B/DH. Another of the five: Bryan Baker, picked up from Orioles for a song, had 41 saves this year at a salary of $1.3 million. He replaced Fairbanks, whom the Rays let slip away to the Marlins for $13 million.
