Rays Farmhands in the Midwest League

Player Roster

Players who played for the Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays as members of Midwest League teams (all of these players were D'Rays farmhands, of course). The list begins with the 2005 season and runs through 2006, which fully covers the Rays' involvement with the Midwest League. This list includes all players I can identify, and the coaching staff. I plan to add other non-playing staff at a later date.

Players who were assigned to the MWL by the Rays in more than one season are listed for each season.

69 different players are listed on this page (none of whom have yet played in the majors), as are 10 non-playing personnel; many are listed more than once.

While the information here is intended to be both complete and accurate, the scale of the project guarantees errors; there's a lot of data here, from a variety of sources, all of which was originally in another format.

I will correct errors, or fill in missing birthdates and uniform numbers as I learn of them. Feel free to help; just drop me a line. Thanks.

There's more information about the MWL Roster project on my blog, A Dabbler's Journal.
