  1. Is McGee a top 5 prospect for the Rays now that his stuff and control is back?

  2. He's certainly in the conversation. An overall top 5 would look something like:
    1. Jeremy Hellickson
    2. Desmond Jennings

    And then I'd say McGee is in the mix at 3. For me personally, my 3-4-5 would probably be Matt Moore, then Alex Torres, then Alex Colome or Jake McGee. Obviously if he continues to pitch as well as he has, McGee can lock up the spot or climb higher.

  3. "Is McGee a top 5 prospect for the Rays now that his stuff and control is back?"

    Too small a sample. And he had control issues before the TJ.
