If you hadn't noticed the counter at the bottom (thanks Patrick) and the poll on the right (again thanks Patrick) have shot up rapidly the past two days, no we're not rigging our numbers, but rather Will Leitch at Deadspin and Larry Brown of AOL Fanhouse linked to our coverage of the Rays new uniforms and logo. As most of you remember I wrote the Deadspin Rays preview way back in February as well as interviewed Leitch, as for AOL Fanhouse you have to applaud AOL for being the first major sports media corporation to jump on the blog bandwagon and they've got a great gathering of bloggers.
I'd like to extend a hat tip to both of those gentlemen for the links and a welcome to those 3,000+ readers who have found our growing fan base in the past few days.
Moving on, we've came to slot number three on our prospect list, but here's the winner of the number two spot, a very familiar face and so far the NDRO is responsible for both picks, here's David Price:

Running List
- Evan Longoria
- David Price
- Tomorrow
Jake McGee
Position: LHSP
Age: 21.1
Projected 08 Level: AA/AAA
Stats:
Vero Beach (21 GS)- 116.2 IP 86 H 8 HR 145 SO 39 BB 2.93 ERA
Montgomery (5 GS)- 23.1 IP 19 H 2 HR 30 SO 13 BB 4.24 ERA
McGee out dueled fellow top lefty prospect Clay Kershaw not once but twice down the pivotal stretch and alongside fellow top arms Christopher Mason and Wade Davis lead Montgomery to it's second consecutive Southern League title. His fastball is ethereal and perhaps for the pure potential alone he could make a case for the first or second slot in the organizational food chain.
Wade Davis
Position: RHSP
Age:22.0
Projected 08 Level: AA/AAA
Stats:
Vero Beach (13 GS) - 78.1 IP 54 H 5 HR 88 K 21 BB 1.84 ERA
Montgomery (14 GS) - 80 IP 74 H 3 HR 81 K 30 BB 3.15 ERA
Another third of the Montgomery trio, Davis is more polished than McGee in terms of using his non-fastball pitches, although I'm not sure that any of his pitches can match the effectiveness of that McGee heater.
Reid Brignac
Position: SS
Age:21.8
Projected 08 Level: AAA
Stats:
Montgomery (527 AB) - .260/.328/.433/.761 17 HR 81 RBIs 55 BB 94 K
Although the Cajun God did struggle for most of the year, you wonder if perhaps some of it was Longoria withdrawal. Brignac maintains his hacky ways, but with a patient hitter like Longoria complementing his style you have to wonder if he grew too accustomed to the Batman / Robin approach.
Jeff Niemann
Position: RHSP
Age:24.7
Projected 08 Level: MLB
Stats:
Durham (25 GS) - 131 IP 144 H 13 HR 123 K 46 BB 3.98 ERA
"Big Red" had his most healthy season to date and finished strong down the stretch, giving hope that come April Niemann will be taking the mound for Tampa every fifth day.
