Past Fantasy Outlooks
2008
2007
2006
2004
Townsend, the Rays' top choice in the 2005 draft, missed the entire 2006 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. While those 2007 numbers are not good for a first-round choice, the Rays are just happy Townsend was healthy for most of the season, and his shutdown in August (sore elbow) was very much a precautionary move. Townsend should be healthy going into spring training; the Rays likely will start him off at High-A Vero Beach and will be prepared to start advancing him aggressively.
