PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- Perhaps the most intriguing story in the Rays camp this spring is Taylor Motter.
Motter plays every position in the field, but he's hardly a gimmick, because he plays all of them well. And he loves baseball more than breathing.
The super utility player is the baseball equivalent of a basketball gym rat.
"He does not want to get taken out of the lineup," said Jared Sandberg, who managed Motter at Triple-A Durham in 2015.
Motter likes to have his spikes in the dirt every day. That translated to a winter ball stint in the Dominican Republic this past offseason.
