The Tampa Bay Rays placed four players on MLB Networks’ Top 100 Players Right Now.
I know the first instinct for some Rays’ fans is to complain that they are being short-changed. Think of it like this: This season there will be 26 players on 30 teams across Major League Baseball. That means at any given point there are 780 players in the Major Leagues. In order to make this list, a player is considered to be one of the top 12.8% in the league.
Some of the rankings are splitting hairs, but it’s nice to see the Rays take up four spots on the list, considering how much they make use of platoons.
