Tampa Bay Devil Rays General Manager Chuck LaMar gave some insight into where former Biscuits will be next year and who may be coming to Montgomery in the spring during an online chat yesterday. Specifically, he ended the speculation about BJ Upton, he will start the season in AAA Durham rather than with the big club, but that once he is called up again he will be in Tampa to stay. LaMar left the door open to Joey Gathright staying in the mix in the Tampa Bay outfield, though they would prefer he gets another half season in Durham.

As for next year’s Biscuits, we can expect 2003 #1 draft pick Delmon Young to start the season in Montgomery. LaMar also suggested that Class A breakout player Elijah Dukes (.332 - .416 - .540 - 8 - 34 - 16 SB in 58 games) will be roaming the outfield of Riverwalk Stadium this season.
