I've been disappointed with the Rays' farm system, specifically how they've developed position players. Have you seen anything this spring that might change my mind?

Totally. Jake Bauers is somebody to really be excited about. They got him in the deal that sent Wil Myers to San Diego, and he looks Major League ready right now the way he swings the bat. He has a wonderful swing, and he also has a good eye. So he's somebody to be excited about.
From everything I've read, it sounds as though Matt Duffy won't start the season as the team's shortstop due to his prolonged recovery from heel surgery.
