ST. PETERSBURG Since Spring Training, the Rays have seen Luis Patiño, Randy Arozarena, Shane McClanahan and Josh Fleming graduate from their Top 30 Prospects list. They’ve promoted switch-hitting infielders Wander Franco, Vidal Bruján and Taylor Walls to the big leagues over the past two months, perhaps for good.
In other words, the Rays have pushed much of their organization’s future into the present in half a season. But guess what? Tampa Bay’s system is still loaded with high-end talent and a ton of depth.
The Rays still have potential contributors in the Minors at every level, starting in Triple-A Durham with right-handers Shane Baz, Joe Ryan, Drew Strotman and Brent Honeywell Jr., infielder Kevin Padlo and outfielder Josh Lowe. At Double-A, infielder Xavier Edwards and infielder/catcher Ford Proctor are two of their top prospects.
