This was the Rays 2nd AL Pennant
AL Pennants (2) 2008 • 2011
With a final record of 19-5, Josh and the Rays won a very tough AL East division behind a scary lineup for opposing teams. Their IF in particular dominated.
Team MVP - 30/30 man Ian Kinsler, IF
121 runs, 32 HR, 77 RBI, 30 SB, .255 BA, .355 OBP, .832 OPS
(close runner ups in Longoria and Zobrist)
2nd in the AL and Rays team leader in R, team leader in SB - 2nd on team in HR and 4th in RBI
Team Cy Young - David Price, SP
12-13, 218 K, 3.49 ERA, 1.14 WHIP
9th in AL and Rays ace was the staff leader in K, team leader in W, WHIP - 2nd on team in ERA
They ran into a hot Braves staff in the World Series and despite huge hitting numbers came up just shy of their goal. They'll no doubt be an early betting favorite at vegas this offseason.
