• 3/6/8: Rays Review: Quinn Stewart "Rays farm director Mitch Lukevics describes him as “a big strong kid with whack in his bat and athleticism.” In his first full season, he had a 20-20 year, hitting .258 with 21 homers and 21 steals in 112 games at Class A Columbus last year, posting a .466 slugging percentage but striking out 122 times.

• "Outfielder Quinn Stewart also started his pro career when he signed a contract with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on May 29, the same day LSU was left out of the NCAA regional.  "When we didn't make a regional, Tampa Bay was the highest bidder, so I went with them," Stewart said. "It was good to hear from Coach Laval, he wished me the best."  As a fifth-year college senior, Stewart was eligible to sign a free-agent deal with the team of his choice. The Rowlett, Texas, native led the SEC in home runs with 23 in 2006. A first-team all-SEC selection, he batted .287 with nine doubles, three triples and a team-best 56 RBI. Stewart left Friday to begin his pro career with the New York Hudson Valley Renegades." By Brennan David The Daily Reveille
