Tampa Bay Rays
If ever there was a team that could get something out of Jurickson Profar, it may well be the Tampa Bay Rays.
While they have earned their reputation by building their bullpen from the scrap heap, they have had success doing the same in the lineup. Carlos Pena turned into a star after joining the Rays, and as recently as last year, they turned Logan Morrison into a borderline All Star. Perhaps they could work that magic on Profar as well.
As is the case with the Texas Rangers, Profar would not have a guaranteed spot in the lineup. Adeiny Hechavarria is set to be the starting shortstop, perhaps until the trade deadline if the Rays are out of contention. Matt Duffy, Brad Miller, and Jake Bauers are penciled in around the infield, but are not necessarily a given. Add in the recent acquisition of C.J. Cron, and the Rays infield is a bit more muddled.
However, the best role for Profar with the Rays may be to use him as a super utility player, similar to how they used Ben Zobrist. Profar has spent time at all four infield spots, as well as left field, in the majors. It would not be a surprise to see the Rays give him four to five starts a week as he played in different spots on the field.
The Tampa Bay Rays have done a great job of getting value out of formerly highly regarded players. They could do the same with Jurickson Profar.
