The Tampa Bay Rays are notoriously conservative in developing their prospects. With that in mind, when a player gets promoted in the Rays system, it may be more meaningful that it would be for other teams. Another franchise may have bumped Casey Gillaspie, Brent Honeywell, and Jace Conrad to High-A a month or two earlier than the Rays did. Even though the standard was so strict, however, all three players found a way to impress the Rays sufficiently to be moved up the latter to the Charlotte Stone Crabs.
