During Thursday's game against the Mariners, Rays outfielder Matt Joyce wrapped teammate Wil Myers bat with caution tape after the right-fielder's red-hot bat connected on an RBI single earlier in the game.
In only 47 games, Myers has been quietly putting up Yasiel Puig-like numbers and has thrust himself into AL Rookie-of-the-Year contention.
If Myers doesn't get recognition for his rookie year (.326, 9 HRs, 37 RBIs so far), Joyce might be using crime-scene tape at the end of the season.
