Budding Rays star Wander Franco looks like one of baseball's most promising young talents, but apparently that doesn't entitle him to any old parking spot.

The second-year phenom's SUV was towed, in a manner of speaking, at Rays camp on Friday -- after he reportedly parked it in a spot assigned to Rays GM Erik Neander.

But rather than have Franco's wheels dragged off to a pound, Rays manager Kevin Cash instead rolled it out into center field while Franco and his teammates were going through morning workouts at Charlotte Sports Park.

Franco seemed to take the "hazing" stunt in stride, laughing it off and even sharing a hug with Neander, who ran onto the field to have a chuckle at the 21-year-old's expense.

Maybe a lesser player would have seen his ride hauled off. Ah, the parking perks of being arguably the game's brightest young star.
