Go Rays. Now, for the 75-word filler:
ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays announced their roster for the American League Championship Series and, as expected, they went with 11 pitchers and 14 position players, which translated to right-hander Edwin Jackson being added to the roster and outfielder Eric Hinske being removed.
Having enough arms in the event of a pitching catastrophe in a seven-game series became the overriding reason for going with 11 hurlers.
