Tampa Bay Rays news and links: Forsythe continues to be incredible

You might have already read Beyond the Box Score's profile of Logan Forsythe, but it's worth a look if you missed it. Kevin Ruprecht breaks down how Frosty is checking off everything you could want from not only a leadoff hitter, but any good hitter.

When Forsythe came to the Rays, it's hard to imagine this is the level of player we could reasonably expect. Even after his stellar 2015 season raised the expectations, so far, Forsythe has been exceeding all bars set out for him.

Though BA and Staats do get a 10/10 rating for walk-off calls, so maybe the Rays can get a few more of those as a treat for the viewers at home.
