THE LEGEND OF DURHAM
Legend has it that the term “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.

didn’t reach the postseason: 2012 Rays, 2011 Red Sox and the 2010 Padres.

A FIRST IN TAMPA BAY
TROPICANA FIELD & MISC.
The Rays have a current streak of five consecutive winning seasons. Only the
Yankees (20) and Cardinals (5) have current streaks as long. Despite the fact
that they are the youngest among the three major sports franchises in Tampa
Bay (along with the NHL’s Lightning and NFL’s Buccaneers), the Rays are the
only team to record five straight winning seasons.

WHILE BASEBALL REMAINS
AMERICA’S NATIONAL PASTIME, IT
HAS TRULY BECOME A GLOBAL GAME.
Today, more than one-fourth of all Major Leaguers
were born outside the United States and as a
result, the Rays have expanded their international
operations. While the organization spans the
globe in the search for talent, the main focus is
in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela, where
Tampa Bay operates baseball academies.
In 2012, Carlos Rodríguez was named Director
of Scouting for Latin America and will supervise
Tampa Bay’s efforts in the Caribbean and South
America, including the Dominican Republic and

2009 and can accommodate up to 96 players.

Venezuela. Carlos Alfonso, who served as the
team’s Director of International Operations from
2006-2012, is now a Special Assistant with a focus on Mexico, Asia, Australia and Europe as well
as players coming out of Cuba.
In 2006, shortly after the new ownership group
took over, the Rays agreed to a partnership with
the Los Angeles Dodgers where the two clubs
would share Campo Las Palmas in the Dominican

Republic, long considered the gold standard
for Dominican facilities. Campo Las Palmas
was home to the Rays baseball academy and a
summer league team until early 2009 when the
organization inaugurated a new academy located
on property adjacent to Dodgers. The complex
has two full diamonds and a half field, clubhouse,
gym, covered batting cages, dining area and living
facilities, which can accommodate up to ninetysix players.
In 2007, the Rays opened their Venezuelan
baseball academy in Guacara, Venezuela, one
hundred miles west of Caracas and dedicated to
Andres Reiner. Reiner was a special assistant
for Tampa Bay from 2007-2011 and was instrumental in setting up the organization’s efforts
in Venezuela. Between 1989 and 2005 Reiner
pioneered baseball’s scouting efforts in Venezuela
while working in the Houston Astros organization where he helped discover and develop future
stars such as Johan Santana, Bobby Abreu, Freddy
García, Carlos Guillén, Melvin Mora and Richard
Hidalgo.
In addition to baseball fields, the recently renovated Venezuelan academy includes a dining area
and dormitory which can accommodate 56 players. Ronnie Blanco, former general manager of the
Magallanes baseball club in the Venezuelan professional league, oversees the Rays Venezuelan
baseball operations. In 2007, Tampa Bay players
joined together with Cincinnati Reds prospects
to form a co-op team in the Venezuelan Summer
League (VSL). In 2008 the Rays had a complete
team and in 2009 and 2011 Tampa Bay won the
Venezuelan Summer League championship.
The Rays also have scouting programs in
Colombia directed by Angel Contreras, and in
Mexico headed by Eddie Diaz.
Tampa Bay and the city of Marília, Brazil, located 230 miles northwest of São Paulo, have built a
partnership to help promote baseball throughout
the country. Adriano de Souza, who was hired in
2008 to scout Brazil for the Rays, coordinates
all of Tampa Bay’s operations in the country. In
addition to scouting Brazil for prospects, the
Rays will also introduce baseball to groups from
7-14 years of age in the Marília area. In 2009, the
Rays signed their first Brazilian player, infielder
Leonardo Reginatto.
The Rays have also expanded scouting efforts
in the Pacific Rim, Europe and Australia. Tim
Ireland begins his fifth 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 covers Taiwan. John
Gilmore enters his fifth year in charge of Europe
and Australia.
In 2012 the Rays continued a program to introduce U.S-born minor league players to the organization’s Latin American operations. Six players
selected in the 2012 free agent draft spent a week
at the Rays Dominican academy Dominican getting a firsthand look at the country that produces
so much major league talent.

MENTAL SKILLS

SINCE ELITE ATHLETES are saddled with an overwhelming demand to succeed, the
Rays developed the Mental Skills Training Program (MSTP), which addresses the
mental side of the game. The MSTP operates in conjunction with all other aspects of
the Rays Player Development program. Built upon the belief that what an athlete is
thinking will influence his performance, the MSTP’s goal is to develop a consistent,
ideal mindset for performance and provide training in coping and mastery strategies
on both an individual and team basis.
When a player’s performance levels are not peaking, the mental skills training he
receives provides him with a tool, something to lean on in tough times. Exercises conducted by the MSTP focus on concentration, awareness and communication skills.
It is with these exercises that a player’s preparation, execution and evaluation—both
physical and mental—help lead to streamlined thought processes and consistent performance at the highest level.
Greg Riddoch, the Rays third base coach from 1998-99 and a former manager of
the San Diego Padres (1990-92), is in his second season with the Rays in a mental
skills role. Riddoch trains the Rays, Triple-A Durham and Double-A Montgomery.
Lance Green, in his fourth year with the Rays and an Associate Clinical Professor
of Wellness and Human Performance at Tulane, tutors Class-A Charlotte, Class-A
Bowling Green, Short-A Hudson Valley, Rookie-level Princeton and the Gulf Coast
League Rays.
EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

EAP
DIRECTOR
Francisco
Ruiz
EAP,
LATIN AMERICA
A KEY COMPONENT OF DEVELOPING successful baseball players is providing each
individual with a web of support and education as he transitions into adulthood. The
Rays believe that developing quality persons who are also professional athletes goes
a long way in producing quality major league players. The Rays offer their players and
staff the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), which is designed to provide support,
education, consultation and information throughout all areas of the Rays Baseball
Operations department, both in the United States and abroad in Latin America.
Spearheading the EAP’s stateside efforts is Vince Lodato, who has been integral
to the program’s continued success since he began working with the Rays in 2001.
Francisco Ruiz, who joined the Rays in 2007, works in conjunction with Lodato. Ruiz’s
focus is in Latin America, where he provides support, along with assistance in the assimilation of Latin American players into American culture.
Lodato and Ruiz have led the EAP with a proactive approach. Education and skills
development are viewed as equally critical to a player’s growth, with an understanding in place that each player’s needs are different at different points in their journeys.
The program reaches all levels of the organization, from in-season rookie orientation,
instructional leagues and extended spring training to major league and minor league
spring training.
During education sessions players are instructed on topics such as the Rays Player
Code of Conduct, drug abuse, performance enhancing substances and stimulants.
In addition, they cover the subjects of leadership, teamwork and developing one’s
career both on and off the field.
