With the fun (or demonic?) nickname of “Hellboy," Jeremy Hellickson debuted for the Tampa Bay Rays in 2010 after being a fourth-round pick in 2005. He appeared in eight games, winning four of them, and as he did not exceed rookie limits, he was classified as one in 2011. As a rookie, Hellickson would have his best season in the Majors, going 13-10, with a career-best 2.95 ERA, and would win the American League Rookie of the Year.
Signed as an Amateur Free Agent in 2007, Dominican Pitcher, Alex Colome, would reach the main Tampa Bay roster in 2013. He would play only a handful of games for the Rays in 2013 and 2014, and while he had yet to have a defined role in 2015, he remained on the roster for the bulk of the season, starting 13 Games and throwing for 109.2 Innings.
It seemed so strange to us to rank Charlie Morton after only two seasons with the Rays, but we place an equal premium on seasonal dominance as we do the overall picture. As such, here he is.
Logan Forsythe may not have been considered a utility player, but it is hard not to think of him that way. When he was traded from San Diego before the 2014 season, Forsythe's first year as a Ray saw him play at least one game at Second, Short, Third, First, Left, and DH. He didn't move around because he was poor defensively, as he never had a negative Defensive bWAR year in Tampa. It sounds like quite a versatile player!
