It was not that long ago that the Tampa Bay Rays had a farm system that was the envy of baseball. Seemingly any time they sent a player elsewhere, there was a top prospect ready to take over and contribute. With smart trades, shrewd drafts, and a plethora of top picks, the Rays were able to build from within during their run of success.
While the Rays may not be back to that level, it does not mean that the cupboard is bare. In fact, there is some talent close to the Majors, potentially set to make their Rays debuts some time this season.
