Between Andy Freed and Neil Solondz, they’ve seen just about every Rays player come through the organization, and with the 25th anniverary season in the book, they each put together their dream team in the Rays organization.

Check out the video below, and tell us who came out with the better squad?
Steve Carney is the founder and publisher of St. Pete Nine. One of the people most associated with baseball coverage in Tampa Bay, he spent 13 seasons covering the Rays for flagship radio station WDAE, first as producer of Rays Radio broadcasts, then as beat reporter beginning in 2011. He likes new analytics and aged bourbon, and is the owner of one of the ugliest knuckleballs ever witnessed by baseball scouts.
