Motter was selected as the winner of the 2016 Al Lopez Award for most outstanding Rays rookie in spring training, Bill Chastain of MLB.com reports.
Motter tallied a .250 average with a homer and four RBI while impressively manning six different positions in the field. With the Rays starting lineup firmly set barring injury-- and some effective depth across the roster in the form of Steve Pearce, Tim Beckham and Brandon Guyer-- Motter's propsects of cracking the big-league roster this season aren't overly bright.
