THE LEGEND OF DURHAM

Legend has it that the “bullpen” originated from the area of shaded grass beyond the outfield wall where pitchers warmed up. The cooler ground was created by the large bull-shaped billboards for Bull Durham Tobacco, a subsidiary of American Tobacco, and the original owner of the Durham Bulls.

MAJOR LEAGuE WAIVER RuLES

There are four types of waiver requests: major league waivers, special waivers, outright waiv-ers and unconditional release waivers.

  Major league waivers are necessary for any player assignment between major league clubs made from Aug 1 until the day after the close of the regular season. Waivers are not needed for major league assignments during the rest of the year. The trading deadline before which waivers are not needed is July 31.

  Special waivers are irrevocable. They are required for a major league club to outright a player to a minor league club from Sep 1 until the 30th day of the following season.

RAYS CONTINUE TO ExPAND INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

While baseball remains America’s national pas-time, it has truly become a global game. Today, more than 25 percent of all major leaguers were born outside the United States, and as a result, the Rays have expanded their global outreach. To facilitate these new international endeavors, the Rays hired Carlos Alfonso to serve as the team’s director of international operations and Andres Reiner as a special assistant in 2006. Al-fonso joined the Rays after 19 years with the San

Francisco Giants. Reiner pioneered baseball’s scouting efforts in Venezuela while working in the Houston Astros organization. Reiner helped discover and develop future stars such as Johan Santana, Bobby Abreu, Freddy Garcia, Carlos Guillen and Melvin Mora.

It wasn’t long after Alfonso and Reiner were on board that the Rays agreed to a partnership with the Los Angeles Dodgers where the two clubs would share Campo Las Palmas in the

392 | 2011 TAMPA BAY RAYS MEDIA GUIDE

MINOR LEAGUE OPERATIONS

RAYS INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONSDominican Republic, long con-sidered the gold standard for Dominican facilities. Eddy Toledo from the New York Mets organi-zation was hired to oversee the Rays Dominican operations. Campo Las Palmas was home to the Rays baseball academy and a summer league team until early 2009 when the organization inaugurated their new academy located on property adjacent to the Dodgers. The complex has two full diamonds and a half-field, clubhouse, gym, covered batting cages, dining area and living fa-cilities, which can accommodate up to 96 players.

In 2007 the Rays celebrated the opening of their baseball academy—dedi-cated to Andres Reiner—located on the grounds of the Pirelli tire factory in Guacara, Venezuela, 100 miles west of Caracas. In addition to base-ball fields, the facility includes a dormitory and dining area, which can accommodate 42 play-ers. Ronnie Blanco, former general manager of the Magallanes baseball club in the Venezuelan professional league, oversees the Rays Venezu-elan baseball operations. In 2007, Tampa Bay players joined together with Cincinnati Reds prospects to form a co-op team in the Venezu-elan Summer League (VSL). In 2008, the Rays fielded a complete team and won the VSL cham-pionship in 2009.

The Rays also have scouting programs in Co-lombia—directed by Manny Esquivia and based in Cartagena—and in Mexico headed by Eddie Diaz. In 2010, the Rays signed a pair of 16 year-old players from Mexico, catcher Jesus Araiza and left-handed pitcher Oscar Armenta.

The Rays signed four players from Cuba in 2010, including outfielder/first baseman Leslie Anderson who made stops in Port Charlotte, Montgomery and Durham during the 2010 sea-son. Anderson, on the Rays 40-man roster, also played in the Arizona Fall League and with San Juan in the Puerto Rican Winter League.

The Rays and the city of Marília, Brazil, locat-ed 230 miles northwest of São Paulo, have built a partnership that will include construction of a training facility beginning in the spring of 2011. It will be the first baseball academy run by a major league organization in Brazil. The academy will be constructed by the city of Marília with ad-ditional funding from the national government,

and will consist of two full playing fields, two dia-monds for youth teams and dormitories, which will accommodate up to 40 players. Adriano de Souza, who was hired in 2008 to scout Brazil for the Rays, will coordinate the academy. In addi-tion to scouting Brazil for prospects, the Rays will also introduce baseball to groups between 7 and 14 years of age in the Marília area. In 2009, the Rays signed their first Brazilian player, in-fielder Leonardo Reginatto.

The Rays have also expanded scouting ef-forts in the Pacific Rim, Europe and Australia. Tim Ireland begins his third year as Pacific Rim scouting coordinator. Tateki “Bori” Uchibori, who served as an interpreter for former Tampa Bay infielder Akinori Iwamura, scouts for the Rays in Japan and Korea, while Keith Hsu cov-ers Taiwan.

John Gilmore enters his third year in charge of Europe and Australia. In 2010, the Rays signed 16-year-old left-handed pitcher Stepan Hav-licek, a member of the Czech Junior National Team, to a free agent minor league contract. Havlicek, the first player signed by the Rays out of Europe, played last summer in the Gulf Coast League. The Rays also signed Darryl George, an 18-year-old infielder from Australia, who will play his professional season in 2011.

In 2010, the Rays continued a program to in-troduce U.S.-born minor league players to the organization’s Latin American operations. Derek Dietrich and Deshun Dixon spent 10 days at the Rays Dominican academy playing with the Do-minican instructional league team and getting a firsthand look at the country that produces so much major league talent.

Rays staff and players distribute gear to local children in Batey Cachena, near San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic in November 2010.
