"He got after it," catching hopeful Luke Maile said. "Give him credit for that. He wasn't scared."
When asked if Motter might have enjoyed the performance a little too much, Maile smiled and noted, "He likes a lot of things too much. But we love him for it."
Motter is a character, and he's opened eyes with more than just his voice this spring. The utility man appears to have a future with the Rays, and he could play a pivotal role with the team this season.
"As far as Taylor Motter, he did everything he possibly could to present himself really well at this camp," said Rays manager Kevin Cash after Motter was optioned to Minor League camp on Sunday.
