I know Carl Crawford is important to the Rays, but Longoria may be more so as one of the few power threats on the team (Carlos Peña as the other). Hopefully, the Rays sunny optimism of him being back in two or three weeks isn't too optimistic as he's been placed on the DL after a JJ Putz pitch broke his wrist. If he's out for longer or the season, we might watch another epic collapse that will bring the Red Sox another division crown. Seriously, when was the last time a rookie had so much influence on the success of his team? Dontrelle Willis? David Wright? The one thing that gives me faith about this team is how they've played. They don't give up and constantly come back. They'll need that without Longoria.
