PORT CHARLOTTE — On his desk Thursday at Charlotte Sports Park were the scraps of paper manager Kevin Cash used last year to write notes for his speech to the team before the first full-squad workout, the day the team broke camp and the one from the final day of the regular season.
Cash is working off those notes, paring them down in anticipation of his talk this morning before the Rays’ first full-squad workout during his second year as manager.
“I’m reviewing all that now, trying to get a condensed version,” Cash said.
He added it wouldn’t be as impressive as the one new Marlins manager Don Mattingly delivered earlier this week before their first full-squad workout.
