The Rays recalled infielder Junior Caminero from the minors. The seasonal age 20 prospect ranked near the top among minor leaguers:

In ESPN’s Top 100 prospects list, coming out of spring training, Caminero ranked No. 3 overall after a minor league season in which he hit .324 with 31 home runs. Jackson Chourio of the Milwaukee Brewers and Jackson Holliday of the Baltimore Orioles — both currently in the majors — were the only two players ahead of him.

He destroyed AA pitching at seasonal age 19. He did not hit that well at AAA this year, but he was slowed by injuries. It looks like the Rays think he’s ready, as he’ll be batting fifth and playing third base on Tuesday night.

The Rays are not afraid to start the free agent clock early on their prospects. They usually get an early long-term signing at a good price. Maybe Caminero will be smart and play until he’s a 27 year old free agent.
