For eight years, from 2003 to 2010, the Rays wrote Carl Crawford’s name into the lineup card in left field, hitting second in the batting order. Sadly, Crawford left the Rays in 2011, cashing in as so many other have. Since then, the Rays have struggled to find a LF whose talents comes close to what Crawford provided the Rays with. They have tried to fill the gap with other players, such as Matt Joyce and David DeJesus, but none have come close to Crawford’s production. Once again, the team is searching for the answer in LF going into the 2016 season.
