Uncustomed Heroes of 2016: Rays

...Not a great year for the Rays, eh?

Look, lately things have been pretty murky for the Tampa Bay Rays. They were banking on a youth movement last year that barely made that much of a difference in 2016. The veterans that stuck around were inefficient or injured, and when they were DFA'd they ended up having MONSTER seasons elsewhere. It was just sad.

Brad Miller at least did a decent enough job at short, replacing Asdrubal Cabrera, and building on his solid 2015.

Alex Colome took over for an injured Brad Boxberger and...did an even better job than the one that got him an ASG nod last year. He was ferocious, and made a case for the permanent gig in Tampa.

So...at least that happened this year.

Coming Tomorrow- A much better AL East team, this one coming short of a World Series.
