The Marlins have become the greatest AAA team in the majors.   And they happen to be the Yankees personal farm club.   That's all there is to it.   

The Rays at least try to compete.  Let's hope they get a new stadium in a better location.  By the fairgrounds would be ideal.

The Rays are a brilliantly run franchise. No Florida teams get support from their fans and most of them are run by idiots but the Rays are probably in line for another 95 win season. Few teams develop talent as well as them.

The Rays are hindered by a few things. They are in a bad location, their stadium sucks balls and they constantly let all of their stars go.  It's almost impossible to go to a game from Orlando and it's hard to build a fan base when you are always losing the recognizable talent. With traffic its tough to even get there from Tampa.

But like the Marlins of the beginning of this century, they don't make an effort to keep their stars home.

Pick up the Rays, as is, put them in Portland, Ore or any San Ant and they are instantly a player in this league.

The Rays ownership is terrible, they're just lucky everyone under him is good.

The Portland Lumberjacks playing inside a modern day dome with a retractable roof due to the rain would win the AL West in it's 1st season. Let the Astros or Rangers move to the Central and put the Indians in the East or something.
