Rays | Won't rush Wil Myers to majors

Consensus among team sources is that Tampa Bay Rays OF Wil Myers will not be rushed to the major leagues immediately, in part to delay the start of his service-time clock. "I've always felt that it should be easier for a young player to make the team season in progress as opposed to out of spring training," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "It's not an easy place to be, because you go from spring training when people are getting ready to the season, when they turn it up a notch."
