Pretty straightforward. All of these names are either prospects, fringe prospects, or guys like Shawn O'Malley (extremely fast) or Pedro Powell (venerable nice guy).

Impressions:

Desmond Jennings is the narwhal of Rays prospects. If you ever get down on the idea of Carl Crawford not being a Ray one day, take a road trip and watch this guy or read up on him.

Matt Joyce has recovered from an awful start and is now hitting pretty well.

Reid Brignac is doing well.

Reid Fronk and Cody Cipriano were college picks from 2007. Fronk's probably the bigger ‘prospect' of the two.

Nevin Ashley and John Jaso are hitting about as well as you could ask from your catchers.

Whatever Desmond Jennings is drinking, Justin Ruggiano and Emeel Salem are in need of it.
