Rays Make Eight Cuts

According to The Heater the Rays made eight cuts today. Those who were cut:

INF Chris Richard
RHP Scott Munter
INF Andy Cannizaro
C Mike Difelice
OF John Rodriguez
OF Jon Weber
C Josh Paul
RHP Grant Balfour

No surprises at all. Chad Orvella and Kurt Birkins are likely headed to the DL, and Juan Salas will be sent to the minors when he finally reports.

That leaves the Rays with 26 players, the last spot going to either Joel Guzman or Eric Hinske. All of us here are pulling for Hinske to make it.
