Baseball America has unveiled their ranking of the top 10 Rays prospects in the organization for the start of the 2024 season, and not surprisingly, infielder Junior Caminero is atop the list after storming through the minor leagues and making his big-league debut without spending a single day at Triple-A.
They also unveiled a projected starting lineup, pitching rotation and closer for the team for the 2027 season.
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.
