Last week St. Pete Times beat Writer, Stephen Holder, took time out of his busy schedule to field questions from Bucs Fans. Below is the discussion we had on his blog, ‘Bucs Beat’, as well as my comments based on his opinions: ... Buc ‘Em: ... Do you see the Bucs pursuing a WR in Free Agency (Torry Holt/Marvin Harrison) or the draft (Percy Harvin/Darrius Heyward-Bey)? ... St. Pete Times: ... I don't see WR being a priority for now. The importance of getting Bryant and Clayton back plus

Seemingly out of nowhere, Matt Joyce has become a contender in the sweepstakes to temporarily replace B.J. Upton in centerfield. Up until this week, most figured the Ben Zobrist would handle the duties and possibly split time with Gabe Kapler or Justin Ruggiano. While Andrew Friedman suggests that Ruggiano is still a possibility, the emergence of Joyce this week makes that less likely. ... Recently, we've covered the offensive part of Joyce's game and we've all heard and talked about how he

After last night's World Baseball Classic finale, I was reminded that Akinori Iwamura is the Rays second basement. Up until last night, Iwamura had become some what of a forgotten man around here. Of course we've noticed names like Adam Kennedy and Reid Brignac in his place, but overall nobody has said "Man, we really miss Aki." I'm sure his teammates, most namely Jason M.V.
