Eh, I thought it was fun even if there's way too many storylines and they all resolve neatly. I wish we got more of Se-young's mom though.

The Rays really know how to pick ‘em, here’s just the first rounders:

1999 - Josh Hamilton, generational talent and generational drug addiction
2000 - Rocco Baldelli, perennial all-star potential derailed by genetic metabolic disorder, not his fault
2001 - Dewon Brazelton, wife-beater
2003 - Delmon Young, has a “legal issues” section on Wikipedia
2010 - Josh Sale, two drug suspensions and one strip club video in 12 months
2011 - Brandon Martin, convicted of triple murder
