Rays Willing To Wait For Wil Myers 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Apr 17, 2013 11:41 am

The Tampa Bay Rays aren't hitting well in the season's first few weeks, but they are still willing to be patient with top prospect Wil Myers.


"With any potential move there are a lot of factors to consider -- the fit on our roster, what it means for our depth, and so on," president Andrew Friedman said.


"We also have to be really mindful that our goal is to compete year in and year out in the toughest division in baseball with almost no margin for error. The AL East will expose very quickly any weaknesses that you have. So when we bring someone here, we need to feel that he's ready to step in and help us win right away. As Joe has touched on already this spring, if we add someone who's not ready, not only will it hurt the team but it can really set the player back as well."
