Breaking down the Rays' Top 30 list

The Rays' system is teeming with players poised to make an impact in the near future, as nine of the club's Top 15 prospects -- and 19 of their Top 30 -- are expected to debut before the end of the 2018 season -- a group that includes four MLBPipeline.com Top 100 prospects in shortstop Willy Adames (No. 21), right-handers Brent Honeywell (No. 31) and Jose De Leon (No. 33), and outfielder/first baseman Jake Bauers (No. 76). The Rays are especially rich in upper-level pitching, with quality depth pieces such as Chih-Wei Hu, Jacob Faria, Jaime Schultz and Taylor Guerrieri all capable of filling a spot in the rotation (or bullpen) on short notice.
