Rays prospect spotlight: outfielder Mikie Mahtook

Mikie Mahtook was the weird exception to the rule this season.

Mikie Mahtook was a weird player this year. He bounced between Triple A and the major leagues, starting out the year with one game at Durham before a brief promotion to the majors. He was quickly demoted to Triple A again after appearing in just four games. He then got a promotion in June for about a week and a half, only to be demoted again. Once again he got teased with the majors for a few days at the end of July and beginning of August; the same old song and dance, my friend.
