2013 MLB Preview: Predicting the Tampa Bay Rays Batting Order

The weather is starting to warm up (in the wrong parts of the country), and people are starting to book their vacation trips to Arizona and Florida. Every baseball fan is starting to come out of hibernation and are ready for Spring Training to get started.

We're going to see lots of speculating at who this year's World Series champions will be and whom the the front-runners for all the major awards are.

Before one can talk about any of those things, we need to first know the teams that we are dealing with. 

Everyone knows that Joe Maddon loves to tinker with his lineups as much as any manager in the Majors, and chances are that the obvious lineup choices may not be the ones that he decides to choose. However, we're going to try to get into the mind of the skipper as best as we can.

Will we see Wil Myers and Hak-Ju Lee carrying the load for the Rays this season? Read on to find out.
