Unlike most teams in Major League Baseball, the Tampa Bay Rays are loaded with quality starting pitching. Furthermore, most of the starters are young, under the team’s control for several years to come, and relatively inexpensive. Today, I’m going to talk about twelve of them and how they might fit into the Rays future plans.
In 2015, the Rays had seven pitchers who started ten or more games. Chris Archer, Jake Odorizzi, Erasmo Ramirez, Nate Karns, Drew Smyly, and Matt Moore were used almost exclusively as starters.
