Rays take notice of Forsythe's breakout 2015

ST. PETERSBURG -- One word describes Logan Forsythe's 2015 campaign: Solid.

The Tennessee native made the most of an opportunity and finished the season as the Don Zimmer Award winner, tagging him the Rays' Most Valuable Player as voted on by the Tampa Bay chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.

Heading into Spring Training, Forsythe was penciled in for a lot of playing time and various positions. He just wasn't being counted on to be the everyday starter at second base. Then Nick Franklin opened the season on the disabled list and Forsythe soon found himself starting at second base on most days.
