What does J.P. Arencibia bring to the Rays?

Power...that's about it.

During Tuesday's slugfest with the Twins, Curt Casali provided the Rays their final run of the evening as he belted a line drive homer into 162 landing. It was a laser shot and Casali was unsure if it would clear the low wall out in left, so he booked it out of the box. Unfortunately, as he rounded first base he pulled a hamstring that will sideline him for the next few weeks of the season.

It was a crushing blow as Casali has given the Rays some much-welcomed pop behind the dish and hasn't been a total black hole in Kevin Cash's lineup card.
