So now what?

Closer Brad Boxberger went under the knife and might miss the first 20 percent of the season.

Kevin Cash has no plans for a quick decision, and certainly the Rays have time to let things sort out.

But there was a noteworthy take yesterday by Rays reporter Steve Carney of WDAE-AM 620.

After camp-meat starter Dana Eveland threw two innings in a 5-1 Rays win against the Red Sox yesterday, the Rays trotted out the following arms from the bullpen to finish the game.

Danny Farquhar
Alex Colome
David Carpenter
Steve Geltz
Xavier Cedeno
Enny Romero

Carney says he believes this is the opening day bullpen. Interesting stuff. Lots of time to watch it evolve. Joe still doesn’t rule out a trade. Worthwhile audio report below.
