Longoria Will Man the Hot Corner
MLN - THE RAW FEED - www.mlntherawfeed.com - Evan Longoria, the MLN FAB50 2007 No. 1 prospect, enters the spring next season as the Tampa Bay Rays starter at third.
Longoria was named the 2007 Southern League Player-of-the-Year after batting .307 with 21 home runs and 76 RBI for the Montgomery Biscuits.
Manager Joe Maddon says Longoria already has the makeup of a veteran player. He sat down for dinner with the former Long Beach State star during an October trip out to the Arizona Fall League.
"He is a major league caliber person," says Maddon. "He'll fit in very quickly."
