RHP Chris Ray is enjoying a healthy offseason to begin a full load of workouts, the former closer told MLB.com. Ray, who battled injuries and recurring ineffectiveness in his first season back from ligament transplant surgery on his pitching elbow, has already dropped "10-15 pounds." He plans to add some extra muscle and begin throwing earlier in hopes of earning a late-inning relief spot with the club in spring training.
