A few notes from The Heater, a blog from The St. Petersburg Times following the Rays:
- Evan Longoria continues to impress, smashing a triple that scored 2 runs as a pinch hitter in the 6th inning of today’s game. I understand the contract dilemma, but it’s going to be tough to keep this kid out of the majors.
- CF prospect, Fernando Perez flashed the speed that made him #72 on Keith Law’s list of top prospects. This kid could be leading off for the Rays in a few years.
- Stud SS prospect, Reid Brignac, is still out with a broken pinky toe. Manager Joe Maddon expects him to return soon, however.
