Rays in AFL: Honeywell's arsenal, competitiveness stand out

Honeywell's screwball will likely gain a larger following Saturday when he starts for the West in the league's annual Fall Stars Game, but it's the totality of the right-hander's arsenal, as well as his fierce competitiveness, that has stood out this fall following a dominant regular-season campaign.

Honeywell, the Rays' No. 2 prospect, reached Double-A for the first time in 2016, receiving the promotion after posting a 2.41 ERA with 64 strikeouts in 56 innings for Class A Advanced Charlotte. He built on that success in the Southern League, recording a 2.28 ERA in 10 starts for Montgomery.
