Archer passes along advice to rookies
Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer is excited to start the 2016 season and thinks the staff is one of the best in baseballPORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- Chris Archer's Sunday morning message still resonated within the Rays' clubhouse Monday morning.
Acting like a leader, Archer told a pair of Rays rookies -- pitchers Blake Snell and Jacob Faria, that they should get to work a little earlier.
Although Rays workouts don't start until 9:30 a.m. ET, Snell and Faria showed around 8:30. That's when Archer told the pair that showing up when they did was not acceptable for two players who had no Major League service time.
