2013

Subscribe now to see our 2013 outlook.

2010

Thayer pitched well at Triple-A Durham, posting a 2.27 ERA and a 1.168 WHIP. The Rays have a bunch of solid relievers which was the roadblock to Thayer's path to the majors. He'll get a shot to win a spot in the spring or possibly be traded to address other areas of need for the Rays.

2009

In most organizations, Thayer's 2008 Triple-A numbers would scream for a big league callup. However, the Rays boasted perhaps the best bullpen in the majors last year, so there was absolutely no room for Thayer. He may get a chance to compete for a middle relief role in the spring, or the Rays may place him a trade package for right field/DH help.

2008

After posting great numbers at both Double-A and Triple-A, Thayer likely will get a chance to compete for a bullpen role at the major league level in spring. Even if Thayer doesn't make the Opening Day roster due to a numbers crunch, he easily could be promoted in midseason and be asked to help out in a set-up role. While the Rays have a lot of pitching prospects, many are starters; Thayer has much less competition in his bid to make the Rays' bullpen.
