Who Had the Best Organization in the MLB in 2008?

Views: 9

According to Maury Brown and his staff at the Biz of Baseball, they picked the Tampa Bay Rays. We saw the Rays go from being one of the worst teams in baseball in 2007 to one of the best teams in 2008 as they hosted the Phillies in the first two games of the World Series. It is that accomplishment that has Bill & I in agreement with Biz of Baseball on this point.

In my eyes, this drastic turn around stems from the team’s new ownership who have changed the team colors and decided to remove the word “Devil” from the team name (they were formerly called the Devil Rays). It is a philosophy that has been a part of the metamorphosis of the Tampa Bay franchise. Here’s what new team owner Stuart Sternberg had to say about the changes they went through:


“We were tied to the past, and the past wasn’t necessarily something we
wanted to be known for. Nobody’s running from it or hiding from it, and
we’re proud of certain aspects of it, but this is something the
organization was able to really put their arms around. I hope and
expect the fans who come out will see it as a new beginning,” he said.
