2009 Year In Review: GCL Rays (Overall)

Over the next few weeks I will recap the 2009 season of each affiliate. This week will focus on the overall season, next week will cover the hitting leaders and the final week will be pitching leaders. Like the week in reviews earlier in the season, each day will bring attention to a different affiliate as we work our way through the franchise. Today we take a look at the overall team stats of the GCL Rays.

The GCL Rays finished the 2009 season with an overall record of 19-36 which placed them in last place of the Gulf Coast League South Division. There was only one team in the league that finished with a worst record (GCL Astros at 18-38).
