There’s no question that there has been a lack of success in the draft with Tampa Bay Rays, but where does the blame fall? The scouting department’s lack of ability to find future big leaguers? The organization’s lack of ability to develop talent? It’s hard to say.
However, the past is the past and the draft is a mere month or so away. With the Tampa Bay Rays currently sputtering and disappointing once again this year due to the lack of solidarity in the bullpen, this is a very important draft for a franchise that has a majority of its top prospects looming in Durham.
