The Major League career of Aubrey Huff began when in Tampa Bay, where he would play his first six seasons.

Blake Snell began his career with the Tampa Bay Rays, where he played for five years, where it can be argued that he had one monster season and the rest being average to mediocre.  

Call him Melvin Jr, or B.J., but we think the former Upton who played for the Rays was a pretty damned good baseball player.

A bona fide flamethrower during his time with Tampa, Chris Archer debuted with Tampa in 2012, a year after he was in the minors and traded from the New York Mets.  Archer would begin an inconsistent career as he was often brilliant and often shellacked.
