Juan Cruz made his first appearance after getting past the visa problems, and threw a bullpen session that was rated "impressive" by a member of the Rays' staff. All players were friendly with the fans and hung around to sign autographs and take pictures. Player/coach meetings after the workouts today, so I would imagine they are going to trim down the numbers this coming week.
