Rays have crowded field in 2B competition

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- Plenty of position battles will take place in the Rays' camp this spring, but none will have as many involved as second base.

Brad Miller played second for the Rays last season, as did Daniel Robertson and a host of other players.

Robertson appears to be the front-runner heading into Spring Training, and Miller -- though in the competition -- appears destined to slide over to first base. But this competition has a long way to go before a winner is decided.

Before the end of 2017, the Rays added four more candidates to the competition at second base.
