Crawford happy about "no drama"

CC is happy to be without the drama that plagued the Rays early last
year.

Rays left fielder Carl Crawford, who has made the triple into an art form, held court the day before the first full-squad workout at the Raymond A. Naimoli Baseball Complex.

"I'm really excited this year," Crawford said on Monday. "[It] just feels like it's going to be a little more peaceful this year. Things will be a little more at ease this year, not so much crazy stuff. I feel like you just get the feeling everybody wants to just come and play good baseball. ... It seems like a fresh start. Everybody wants a fresh start when it comes to the baseball season because you get to wipe out the past no matter what happens."

Crawford allowed that he is more excited for this season than years past "because this is the best team they've ever put together and we all know that, so we want to try and show people that this is the best team that's been around."
Basketball is driven by three principles:

1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability

I'm not really a drama person," Crawford said. "Things just seem a little smoother right now."

Trading Delmon Young to the Twins was one another of the Rays' offseason changes.

"I was surprised [about the trade]," Crawford said, "because I just didn't think it would happen. But it worked out for both teams. We get a good pitcher and they get a good young player. Hopefully it will work for both teams."

Young and manager Joe Maddon had a disagreement in Toronto, a day before the final game of the season.

While I do think Garza is a great talent, and Bartlett is OK, we could have gotten more. That being said, he needed to go. Clubhouse cancer.
