Rays on the mound: James Shields made his second spring start and pitched like he was ready for his Opening Day assignment. The right-hander allowed just one hit, a walk and three strikeouts in four innings. Troy Percival made his first spring appearance and retired the Phillies in order in the fifth. Dan Wheeler retired the side in order in the sixth, striking out two in the process. Grant Balfour struggled in two-thirds of an inning, allowing one run on one hit and three walks while striking out one. The outing was the right-hander's first since taking a line drive off his right forearm Saturday.
Now there is going to be a lot exspected of the Rays after the great season they had last year. I think they will answer the bell and come out strong. They are averaging 6.1 runs a game, as soon as the pitching comes around we will be good to go.
As for my Dodgers with the exception of Manny and Billingley we will have to rebuild.
