All season I have been amazed at what the Tampa Bay Rays have gotten out of baseball’s third lowest payroll.
If Joe Maddon was still around, it wouldn’t be much of a big deal. Instead, they have a rookie manager in Kevin Cash with no prior coaching experience.
They also have a new general manager in Matthew Silverman who just like his predecessor Andrew Friedman has found his way to a few hidden gems.
The Rays have six players in their everyday lineup who were not everyday players in 2014.
