While not a native Floridian (who is?), Jason Collette has been a diehard Rays fan since Wilson Alvarez delivered the first pitch in franchise history for a ball. He plans to use this blog as a means to discuss anything and everything Rays-related, from the latest happenings with the big league club, as well as what is going on down on the farm, plus whatever else may come to mind! He also writes for Baseball Prospectus.com and Rotowire.com and is one of more recognizable names in the fantasy baseball industry. He is a social media junkie who is very much into Twitter (follow him) and Facebook (friend him). Please feel free to use the comments section to provide feedback on the content you find here. He may be contacted at [email protected].
Jason Hanselman is a Rayaholic. He hasn’t been sober for about 7 years now. He grew up and currently reside in upstate New York, but from 2001 - 2009 he lived in Orlando, attending UCF and going to as many games as he could (which played a key part in him being hired here). He is pretty active in various Rays online communities and bring many different analytical tools to the table. His strongest attributes revolve around statistical analysis, but he played hardball in high school and has watched close to 150 games a year for the past several years. His main goals are to incite dialog and to consistently re-shape his own views in a foolish, unending quest for the truth. He looks forward to conversing with those that are just as passionate as he is and hope you are entertained by what he provides.

I’m one of John Bondur’s Rays ticket buyers. John forwarded your “crowd” piece to me. We might have met at the Trop at the SABR session there last year, but I don’t recall for sure. I assume you belong to SABR, but if you don’t and want to know more, REPLY and I’ll bring you up to date. Do you see Bruce Brown’s baseball Trivia Q&A’s? I’ll add you to my distribution list and you can tell me to take your name off if you don’t want or need it.

Hi Dave,
I do believe we did meet at last year’s event. I have not yet purchased a membership for 2011 as I was researching the local situation here in Orlando before joining. Please add me to your list using the email above; I do not see Bruce’s trivia but would love to.
