Rays Are Underachieving But Cash is Finally Understanding

I loved Joe Maddon when he managed the Rays but one thing about him drove me nuts. He could never admit how bad certain players really were. Luke Scott was a perfect example. In his two years with the Rays, Scott was terrible on offense and defense but to listen to Maddon, Scott was always one at bat away from turning into Mark Teixeira. Kevin Cash has been much the same way. Despite the fact that the team is only playing .500 baseball and half the team is underachieving , everything has seemed to be rosy with the Rays.
