This date in Rays History!
For the second day in a row, almost nothing Rays related happened with the exception of a minor league catcher (Raul Casanova) signing and Chris Gimenez's birth so let's move on to trivia.

Trivia Time!
The answer to yesterday's question was Steven Souza Jr, answered correctly by jtmorgan
Wrong answers were Joey Gathright, Pat Burrell, [RETRACTED], Jason Bartlett, Reid Brignac, and David DeJesus
Today's prospect:
"He makes solid contact and sprays the ball from foul line to foul line. He has power to the alleys and some scouts project him to hit 30 homers a season because of his tremendous bat speed and the natural lift in his swing."
Hint: he was number one in his organization, and one of the top three prospects in baseball in the early 2000's.

That''s the same number of hits Carlos Pena had during 2012 campaign.
