What might the Rays’ 2018 minor league lineups look like?

Here are my guesses for what the Rays’ full-season lineups might look like. Decisions for the major league roster obviously affect Durham, like what happens with the backup infielders.

Rays minor league lineups

Position Triple-A Durham Double-A Montgomery Class A-Advanced Charlotte Class-A Bowling Green

Third base Christian Arroyo Michael Russell Kevin Padlo Adrian Rondon
Shortstop Willy Adames Jake Cronenworth Lucius Fox Taylor Walls

Center field Johnny Field Ryan Boldt Josh Lowe Carl Chester
Right field Justin Williams Nathan Lukes Garrett Whitley Eleardo Cabrera
Reserves Nick Ciuffo Nick Solak Jermaine Palacios Chris Betts
Grant Kay Tristan Gray
Zach Rutherford

For Durham, Adam Moore does not have a post-spring training opt-out clause in his contract that I’m aware of, so he’ll be the Bulls’ catcher until Nick Ciuffo’s suspension is over.
