Rays Minor League Baseball Blog

Matt Moore.  I could have finished my column with that name but Moore is the stud in the organization.  He went 8-3 with a 2.20 ERA and 131 strikeouts and 28 walks in 102 1/3 innings.  His batting average against was .187 and he’s only 22.  Stud.

Marquis Fleming – With 104 strikeouts in 80 1/3 innings. Fleming was one of the best relievers out of the pen.  He walked 42 though and that’s a little high but he was able to limit the damage with a .204 batting average against.

Matt Bush – Bush is another hard thrower with 77 strikeouts in 50 1/3 innings. Oddly, hitters belted him for a .251 average.  The former top pick has bounced around and he’ll now be 26.  It’ll be interesting to see what the Rays do with him in 2011.
