Around SBN: Leandro Damiao Is Still Really Good

The Greatest (Devil) Rays to ever wear... #58


There are only two real rules to this poll:

1.  The player has to wear the number in the regular season.

2.  Coaches do not count, except for managers.

Uncontested numbers:

98- Jae Soe

97- Joe Beimel

80- Julio Santana

71- Damian Rolls

70- Joe Maddon (Manager)

68- Ruddy Lugo

63- Jim "The Rookie" Morris

42- Jakie Robinson (Retired by the MLB, worn by vaious players for Jackie Robinson Day.)

12- Wade Boggs

******************************************************************************************

Voted by Draysbay.com

61- Travis Phelps (95% of the votes)

60- Jonny Gomes (61% of the votes)

59- Jorge Cantu (71% of the votes)

Today, we will discuss #58.

The Candidates:

Travis Harper(2000-2006), Gary Glover(2007-2008), Wade Davis(2009).

Travis Harper was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1997 draft but was signed by the Devil Rays in 1998 and made his major league debut in 2000. Harper was mostly a reliever for the Devil Rays but earned 20 wins and 2 saves over his six years span while wearing the number 58.

Gary Glover was signed by the Devil Rays in December of 2006 and played for the D-Rays for two years, where he would accumulate 7 wins and earn 5.17 ERA.

Wade Davis was selected in the 3rd of the 2004 draft. Davis would make his debut for the Rays in 2009 where he would earn 2 wins and a ERA of 3.72 over six games.

So, I turn to you Draysbay, who was the best player to ever wear the #58 in Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays history?
