Tampa Bay Rays Farmhands in the Midwest League

Player Roster

Players who played for the Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays as members of Midwest League teams. This list includes all players and coaching staff members I can identify. There may be players missing from this list, but I believe it to be complete.

Players who played for the Devil Rays in both their MWL seasons are listed for each season.

69 different players are listed on this page (1 of whom had played in the majors at the start of the 2008 season), as are 10 non-playing personnel; many are listed more than once.

My intention is to include everyone who represented the Devil Rays on an MWL diamond. While the information here is intended to be both complete and accurate, it's possible that there are omissions and 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.
