    Mlb's Number 1 Overall prospect: Wander Franco debuts tonight for Rays

    Rays losers of 6 straight games, and now 1/2 game out of first, call up 20 year old SS, Wander Franco, the number 1 prospect in all of baseball the past 2 years
    Just in time, as the Rays welcome the Sawx to the Trop for a 3-game set.
    I am very interested to watch how "hit machine" Franco does vs the Sawx

    Here are some interesting facts on Franco: he skipped double-A and started this year at triple-A Durham. Wander Franco is the nephew of Erick Aybar. Franco was the youngest player at the triple-A level to start the season: .315, 7 hr's, 6 triples, 35 Rbi's in 39 games
