Crawford: I'm Ready For ALDS
Tampa Bay will play either Minnesota or Chicago depending on who wins the tiebreaker game on Tuesday afternoon. "I think I did enough today [Monday]," Crawford said. "I mean, I didn't get hits, but I showed that the bat speed is fine, and today, I'll probably do the same thing. So if it's a tough decision after that, then I don't really know what to say. I'm trying to make it as easy as possible for them." Crawford underwent surgery Aug. 14 for a partial dislocation of his right middle finger tendon. "I think that's the one good thing that's happened out of this whole thing," Crawford said. "I got a chance to rest my legs. I felt good running today. Hopefully, I'll be able to run in the playoffs." Tampa Bay Rays Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Baldelli Refutes Muscular Dystrophy Report
