Montgomery remains the Rays’ Double-A affiliate, and the Biscuits are next up in our roster projections.
Catcher: Ford Proctor
This was a tough one. When Proctor last played in affiliated baseball, he was a Class-A infielder. The Rays are giving him a shot at catcher, and he could stick. In 2020, he played in an independent league, at the alternate site, and in Australia, so he wasn’t hurting for at-bats like so many players. However, this could still be a big jump for a player inexperienced at the position.
First base: Kaleo Johnson
Johnson — a 32nd-round pick in 2018 — finished the 2019 season in Class A-Advanced and then played in Australia that offseason.
