Evan Longoria says his hamstring is 100%:

More than any acquisition, Longoria is the key to 2013 success. He has a new $100 million contract extension and a baby on the way, but the focus will be on his left hamstring, which forced him to miss more than half of last season. Longoria said last week he has recovered extremely well from November surgery and will be in Port Charlotte when pitchers and catchers report Feb. 12.

“The leg is ready,” he said.

Still, expect the Rays to take it slow and hold him out of early spring action.

That’s good news for the Rays. They played .635 ball with Evan in the lineup in 2012.
