228 crowd into Tampa Bay's minor league list

The Rays list 228 players in the minor league section of their 2012 media guide.

Here's where each of the 228, plus the 19 non-roster invitees to major league camp, were at the end of last year. This does not include anyone now on the 40-man roster. Also, I tried to list injured players where they last were healthy.

A couple of missing names that jumped out at me: Richard De Los Santos and, because I saw a section listing the Erik Walker award's previous winners, Matt Hall.
