Posted: Mon Mar 17, 2025 12:21 pm
The Tampa Bay Rays are making waves in the prospect pool, and the latest rankings have sparked some intriguing discussions. With Maykel Coret making a strong case for being the next big thing in the Rays' system, it raises the question: how do we evaluate the potential of young prospects?
Coret, at just 17 years old, is already showing off impressive exit velocities and a projectable frame. But history tells us that not all prospects pan out. What are your thoughts on the volatility of prospect rankings? Are we too quick to crown young players as future stars based on early performance?
Additionally, the Rays have a wealth of talent in their minor league system, with players like Gregory Barrios and Ben Peoples also making headlines. With the Rays' track record of developing talent, do you think they can field an entire starting outfield from their recent international signings?
Let’s not forget the recent news about the Rays withdrawing from the stadium deal in St. Pete. How do you think this will impact the team's future, especially in terms of attracting and retaining talent?
Bold prediction: In five years, the Rays will have one of the most formidable outfields in baseball, thanks to their current crop of prospects. Do you agree, or do you think the Rays will face challenges that could derail this potential?
