PETERSBURG -- The consensus around the clubhouse is that centerfielder Randy Winn will be named today as the team's All-Star representative. Rays tales ALL-STAR REVIEW: Randy Winn tonight likely will be chosen Tampa Bay's sixth All-Star. If so, wish him luck.

Their two All-Star pitchers did fine but slumped the next season and were traded. Individual gain may be the Rays' biggest loss ST. PETERSBURG -- It's not, as many thought in the spring, going to be Toby Hall. Nor is it Greg Vaughn, Ben Grieve or a young pitcher. The season-long question of who would be the Rays' All-Star will be answered tonight, when Randy Winn is expected to be selected.
