The Rays are showing signs of maturity.

Offensively, they are hard charging up the ladder in some key areas.

The Rays current rank in the AL as follows;

Batting ..........5th at .268

Home Runs ......2nd with 156

Stolen Bases ....... 3rd

Runs scored ....... 8th (up from 10th)

Slugging .........4th at .432

Record to date is 56-81.

The Rays would need to finish 14-11 to end at 70 W's.

I don't really think offense has been a problem these past few seasons. It's been being able to stop opposing offenses.

In comparison to how inneffective, and where they started this year at the plate, the offensive stats that have been steadily rising, are at least very solid.

Pitching is on the way..........
