James ShieldsThe Tampa Bay Rays look to have a strong pitching rotation as well as a stronger bullpen in 2010. Joe Maddon, the Rays Manager, released his starting pitchers for the first five games. In order-they are: James Shields, Matt Garza, Jeff Niemann, David Price, and Wade Davis. Andy Sonnanstine is right there too, but he needs to work to stay in the rotation ahead of Wade Davis.

 

If Shields does get the baseball on April 6th, it will be his third straight opening day start. James has a way of winning the ‘big’ games, thus the nickname ‘Big Game James’ sticks in everybody’s minds. With a baseball, his Rawlings baseball glove, and a little magic, he’ll be giving opposing batters fits again this season…
