Our All Time Top 50 Tampa Bay Rays have been updated to reflect the 2022 Season

Not in Hall of Fame

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022 revision of our top Tampa Bay Rays.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the American League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, Tampa was not able to make the playoffs, but they were contenders.  On a young team, this allowed, four new entrants on our Top 50. 

As always, we present our top five, which was not affected by the last season:

1. Evan Longoria

2. Carl Crawford

3. Ben Zobrist

4. David Price

5. Kevin Kiermaier

You can find the entire list here.

Kiermaier, who is now a Toronto Blue Jay, did not do enough to move past his number five spot.

Brandon Lowe, moved up one rank to #15.

Of the highest four new entries, we have Infielder, Yandy Diaz, who enters this list at #29.

2021 American League Rookie of the Year, Randy Arozarena, debuts at #30.

An All-Star last year, Shane McClanahan enters at #43, and fellow hurler, Tyler Glasnow moved up two spots to #45.

Outfielder, Manuel Margot debuts at #50.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.
