Rays prospects and minor leagues: FCL Rays fall in championship

Last week, I was deciding between writing about Tommy Romero and Shane Sasaki. Romero was designated for assignment, and then Baseball America wrote about Sasaki.

Neither BA nor MLB.com have Sasaki on their recently updated top 30s for the organization, and it’s a little surprising. He was a third-round pick and is performing very well, batting .319/.397/.481 with 42 steals in 46 attempts. He is in Low A and turned 22 last month, so maybe it’s time to see him at a higher level.
