I guess 'race' isn't the proper word. No team wants to finish dead last in the majors. But it seems like the Devil Rays have almost perfected it since their inception. Of course there was that one year the Tigers won 40-something games.
The Devil Rays have 65 wins as of Thursday morning. The only teams capable of undercutting them include Pittsburgh (67), Florida (67), Baltimore (67) and Kansas City (67).
The team that finishes dead last receive the #1 overall pick in the following year's MLB first-year player draft. The Devil Rays picked first this year.
At some point, all that talent has got to start producing...right?
