Longoria headed east
Rays blue-chip 3B prospect Evan Longoria on Wednesday was officially named to the USA Baseball team that will compete in the International Baseball Federation World Cup title from Nov. 6-18 in Chinese Taipei.
The 24-man roster is comprised of pro players not on major-league 25-man rosters. Longoria is the only Rays player on the squad, which will be managed by Davey Johnson.

Absolutely cannot wait for this guy to join the show. He has hit at every level and I love the fact that the Rays will power at both corners

Between this and the AFL, he will def get enough experiance to be ready for spring training and be our starting 3B.
