After watching the Rays lose all three games to the World Champion Royals, analyst Brian Anderson spoke for many Rays fans and ripped the team's lack of effort. Anderson said, "It comes down to leadership and I'm quite frankly not sure that the Rays have any."
This prompted a flurry of quotes from manager Kevin Cash and other sources. Cash reminded everyone he's the leader of the team. Evan Longoria came to his manager's defense. Tampa Bay Times beat writer Marc Topkin quoted Longoria calling Kevin Cash a 'tremendous" leader in an article in yesterday's edition.
