NOTES FROM DOWN ON THE FARM...

• David Price will make his pro debut on Thursday for Vero Beach. [Tampa Tribune]
  
• Emeel Salem, who was leading all of minor league baseball in stolen bases, broke his elbow sliding head-first and will miss the remainder of the '08 season. [Biscuits Batter]
  
• Baseball America posted a mock draft for the first round of the amateur draft. They have the Rays picking Tim Beckham, the high school shortstop. [Baseball America]

Tampa Bay is keeping quiet about its intentions, and the two names that pop up the most are Posey and Beckham. Posey would help the Rays more quickly and fill a bigger need, but he's unlikely to accept a heavily backloaded deal like David Price did in 2007. Five-tool shortstops are just as rare as all-star catchers, and industry sources are starting to think that Tampa Bay will lean that way. If the Rays opt for a pitcher, Matusz has moved ahead of Crow.

• In this week's "Prospect Hot Sheet" from Baseball America there are no Rays in the Top 13, but Jeremy Hellickson is in the "just missed" section. [Baseball America]
