MLB Pipeline, MLB.com's brand for anything prospect related had already ranked their top ten Rays prospects earlier this off-season and also broke down the top ten prospects at their position with a couple of Rays making appearances.
Now this afternoon they released their full scale breakdown of the Rays organization with their top 30 prospects, as well as the players with the best tools in the system.
Coming in at number one on the Top-30 is the obvious choice, Blake Snell, as he has been ranked the team's number one prospect by pretty much everyone since mid-July. After that there are quite a few jumps and falls from last year's list.
Here they are with mlb.com's scouting grades:
