Despite the injuries, rays pen has been really good at preventing runs…except for the pivotal moments. Late games that are close, they fall apart. Having a true closer helps move every body else down in to less crucial innings. It’s not what the Rays have historically done, but now would be a good time to change it up

Manzardo is a good prospect having a bit of a down year. But the rest of this group is weak. Shenton is a 25 year old DH who was already rule 5 eligible and not taken. Jones can’t hit and is also 25. Goss has had homer problems in High A and will have to be protected from rule 5 draft in Dec.

That’s not exactly true. Manzardo is being given every possible chance to hit LHP this year because the Rays want him to be an everyday player. He struggles some with LHP but crushes RHP. If he was only getting 15%-20% of his ABs against LHP (like normal) his total numbers would be fine, but he’s getting 1/3 of his ABs against LHP, which is why his yearly numbers look down. Shenton has had injury issues since the Rays acquired him from Seattle. Not sure he would have been protected in Rule 5 draft otherwise, but this is his first healthy year with the Rays and he’s having a good year. He’s capable of playing 1B/3B/DH and is a better prospect than you’ve suggested. I’m not a fan of Jones at the plate but he’s hitting the ball fairly well in AAA right now as a power hitting CF/SS. His K rate remains way to high, but that’s a problem with a lot of Rays prospects and is an institutional approach problem in my opinion (ie: Player K rates get worse when they are traded to the Rays and better when traded from the Rays). Jones might still have a future in the league. Goss and Gray are filler.
