Junior Caminero Continues To Force Rays Hand For Promotion
6 months agoTampa Bay Rays infield prospect Junior Caminero continued his success for Triple-A Durham on Sunday with a 1-for-5 performance versus the Memphis Red Birds. Caminero's lone hit was a solo homer and it would be his eighth of the season for the consensus top-5 prospect. Caminero, 20, has practically done everything one can to earn a big-league promotion since last season, but the Rays have continued to pass over him, even with many injuries to their infield at the big-league level. On the year, Caminero is now hitting .269 with 8 homers and 24 RBI. It is questionable if the Rays will finally cave in and give Caminero a fair chance, but if he does gets promoted, managers should sprint the waiver wire to grab the talented infielder.
