Maddon offers perspective on Miggy, deal
By Bill Chastain / MLB.com
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Miguel Cabrera's record-setting contract extension was front and center on Friday, when the Rays visited Joker Marchant Stadium to play the Tigers.
The agreement extends Cabrera's current contract through at least 2023. Published reports estimate the value of the extension to be $248 million guaranteed. The pact includes vesting options for two additional years at $30 million each.
"Good for him," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "He's really good. Heads up, Mike Trout."
Asked for perspective on where the Tigers slugger fits in historically, Maddon obliged.
"You could go back to [Barry] Bonds, [Ken] Griffey, the guys I was on the field with, A-Rod," Maddon said. "[Cabrera's] really an exceptional hitter; Edgar Martinez.
"There are probably about 10 guys, if you sat down pencil to paper, that play in another stratosphere. There are some guys that I thought would do that. Like when [Travis] Hafner had a couple of good years, I thought he was in that league, and it kind of went away from him for a bit. But I think a lot of that was injury-induced. But I think for the most part, guys that have been able to do that for a period of time."
Maddon expanded on why Cabrera is such an offensive force.
"He's such a good hitter, because he'll use this side of the field," said Maddon pointing to right field. "And the moment you begin to play into the fact that he's using this side and you try to do something differently, then the ball goes far that way." Maddon pointed to left field. "He's really good about -- I don't know if I want to use the word guessing -- but setting you up, in a sense.
"And furthermore, with really good hitters, when they see their pitch they hit it. They don't foul it off, they don't miss it. They hit it hard and they hit it fair, and that's what the really good hitters do."
Maddon noted that he did not find the money Cabrera signed for baffling, but he said: "It's incredible regarding where these numbers have ascended to. I want to believe that it speaks to the solvency of the game in some ways. And particularly to the Detroit franchise. It speaks well to all of that, I think."
Bedard re-signs with Rays on Minor League pact
LAKELAND, Fla. -- The Rays have re-signed Erik Bedard to a Minor League deal. The veteran left-hander will report to Triple-A Durham.
"Great to have him back in the fold," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "I really think he can come up big for us at some point this year. I've said it many times -- just getting to know him at camp, this guy definitely fits in to what we're trying to do around here. And I'm happy about that."
After losing out in his bid to win the fifth spot in the rotation, Bedard elected to look for another Major League job, so the Rays gave him his release. Maddon said he was surprised Bedard did not find a job.
"He's still got a lot left, there's no question about that," Maddon said. "He just needs a little more time to sharpen up. And having him at Triple-A is good for us."
Veteran infielder Mike Fontenot also was signed to a Minor League deal on Friday after he was released by the Nationals. Fontenot was in Rays camp last spring and played in 120 games at Triple-A Durham during the regular season.
"That's great," Maddon said. "You know all that kind of stuff counts. That kid's outstanding. Loved him last year in camp. I was told last year in Triple-A he had a tremendous impact on the players. The staff there was raving about him."
Spring Training productive endeavor for Rays
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Rays manager Joe Maddon could not think of much that his 2014 squad has not accomplished during Spring Training.
"There's still some things, outfield-wise, that I want to tie up," Maddon said. "Otherwise, the number of at-bats have been good per player. Pitchers got their innings in. Relievers have gone two innings in a row."
He also noted that, instructionally, "We got the message out there pretty well this year."
Maddon is satisfied with what he has done as well.
"I've been so locked in with the process this camp, I've been really pleased with that," Maddon said. "I've been able to keep my focus and I'm really going to challenge myself to do that during the season also.
"There's a tendency for all of us, sometimes, you want to become a fan during the game. You get hung up on the outcome, and you can't, you just have to keep working the game from your perspective."
Maddon allowed that he wants to remain locked in, thus he is challenging himself "to become even more process-oriented than I have been in the past" for the entire season.
When asked, Maddon could not come up with any real surprises from this year's camp.
"Maybe some of the young guys," Maddon said. "I've heard about them and how good they actually showed up. [C.J.] Riefenhauser, saw [Adam] Liberatore again yesterday, [Brad] Boxberger in the deal, [Logan] Forsythe for the first time. Not really surprises, just kind of pleasantly pleased to see.
"I mean, these guys are good. So you hear about the acquisitions in meetings. But to actually see them perform, they're good."
Rays to keep themed road trip tradition going
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Themed road trips have been one of the more colorful norms for the Rays since 2008, when they had three such trips in their first winning/playoff season.
Last year, the Rays had five such trips including letter jackets, college football jerseys, all-white, camouflage and the accidental preppie.
Rays manager Joe Maddon likes to have fun, which is his nature. But he also believes that fun leads to his teams being relaxed, and thus, the players are able to perform better.
Maddon tipped his hand on Friday regarding two trips in the works for 2014. One will be a "Woodstock" trip when the team goes to Seattle. Another will be a tuxedo trip to an as-yet-to-be-determined destination.
"I think a tuxedo trip, because that's kind of the antithesis of who we are," said Maddon noting that the team generally dresses in jeans and T shirts. "Definitely insist on jeans and sneakers to accent the tux. So I'm working on a proper date for that. ... I already have mine."
Tampa Bay will have sellout crowd for home opener
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Rays' 2014 season opener on Monday at Tropicana Field against the Blue Jays is sold out, marking the ninth consecutive season for which Tampa Bay has sold out the home opener.

Floyd isn't only going to be a pro, he's going to be a GREAT pro. Outside of injury, watch out for him at WR. He's amazing.
Their TE Rudolph is also an excellent player. Golden Tate is a very good college player although I don't see much pro upside from him. Clausen is only OK but good enough with the weapons they have.
And their next bunch of games are against Michigan, Mich St, USC in a few weeks as well. They aren't going to be just beating up on a bunch of garbage teams. And Nevada isn't complete garbage either. They have a few kids on that team will be pros. The one DE in particular will play in the NFL and could end up being a very good player.
I'm a big Notre Dame fan but not some blind homer. I'll be the first to tell you that Brady Quinn is NEVER going to be a good NFL QB because his skillset just doesn't match up for a good transfer. Quinn at best will be an OK QB but that is as far as it goes. Mangini should and will go with Anderson imo.
What will keep Notre Dame from being great this year however is their weakness on defense against the run. Their offense has the ability to be great as long as Clausen doesn't screw it up.
Weis is great at recruiting and for a Notre Dame fan, I hope he stays around. He's going to have the program playing great and I strongly disagreed with those idiots who wanted to get rid of Weis. Even if you are Bill Parcells, you aren't going to win if the QB play is bad and there isn't talent enough around them to make up for it. Clausen was AWFUL his first year, and only slightly better last year.

CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy and Seattle Sounders FC will face off in a match that may be first in American team sports history as Robbie Rogers, the first openly gay professional athlete looks to take the field.
*Robbie Rogers was acquired on Saturday in exchange for Mike Magee. Rogers talked about his deal in a press conference on Saturday while Galaxy players discussed the deal that sent Magee to Chicago.
*Rogers will be in the game day roster on Sunday after the Galaxy received his International Transfer Certificate on Sunday.
*Juninho and Marcelo Sarvas expect to participate after missing several days of training earlier this week.
*My preview of Sunday's match that focuses on the Galaxy's potential rivalry with Chicago.
*Lastly, my Three Points to the match.
Eddie Johnson vs. Omar Gonzalez
Johnson notched two goals last week in the Sounders impressive victory over FC Dallas, but he'll face a stronger challenge in Gonzalez, who is eager to rebound after a late break down cost the Galaxy a point in their defeat to New York last week.
Robbie Keane vs. Djimi Traoré
The pair battled several times during Keane's time at Tottenham while Traoré was with Liverpool and will face off again on Sunday. Expect Keane to look to get off to a fast start as he'll be off for Ireland duty after the match.
Galaxy/Sounders each look to score first
Sunday's match is a simple case of who scores first wins. The Galaxy and Seattle are a combined 9-0-4 when scoring first, but when they concede, they are 0-7-0.
Cudicini; Franklin, Gonzalez, DeLaGarza, Dunivant; Donovan, Sarvas, Juninho, Stephens; Zardes, Keane

I don't doubt this, but this is because the version of Athlon you're running, that has the magic number "64" on it, is just a better processor than the one you had before.

My point was that the text segment is created by a human and is limited in size by human abilities. Except for constants in the program, the data segment is synthetic and is created algorithmically or in some other way that doesn't expand in complexity as the size of the data expands. > And I still claim that your assertion is bold and difficult to support > or contradict.

That's because you, and many other people, could handle the complexity of creating a program with 2-3MB, or even 16MB, of text.

Schenley Distillers Corporation
List of Deals
The history of the whiskey that later brought fame to Schenley Distillers dates to approximately 1900, when chemist Frank Sinclair found an underground stream above the junction of the Kiskiminetas and Allegheny Rivers in Pennsylvania. With his charcoal expertise, Sinclair concluded that this stream water was ideal for making whiskey. Around 1900 he acquired the land from Mary Schenley and began what later became known as a Schenley distillery.
The Schenley Products Company was organized in New Jersey in 1920. During the 1920s the owner of Schenley, Lewis Rosenstiel, acquired approximately thirty distillers of whiskies and other spirits, including Joseph S. Finch & Company, Napa Valley Wine & Brandy, Greenbrier Distilling Company, and Sam Thompson Distillery Company.
During the 1920s and until repeal of Prohibition, liquor manufacturers were under strict government control that limited production for specific purposes. After repeal in 1933, Schenley Distillers Corporation was created in Delaware. In July 1933 Schenley Distillers acquired, in an exchange for 820,000 of its capital stock, the entire capital stock of Schenley Products. The shares of Schenley Distillers were then offered to the public in a deal arranged by Lehman Brothers and valued at approximately $3 million. At this time, Schenley was the second-largest whiskey distiller in the United States, second only to Joseph E. Seagrams, owned by Sam Bronfman.
After Prohibition, demand soared for distilled alcohol products. Schenley earned $6.9 million on sales of $40.3 million in 1934. The following year, earnings rose to $8.0 million and sales rose 56 percent to $63 million.
