A Tampa Bay Ray for the first six seasons of his career, Jake McGee debuted in the Majors in 2010.  The southpaw only played eight Games for the parent club that year, but he managed to hurl more innings in 2011, and by 2012 he was a permanent player in the Rays bullpen.  From 2012 to 2014, McGee appeared in at least 69 Games, peaking with a 19 Save and 1.89 ERA year in 2014. 

In the up and down career of Fernando Rodney, the two seasons that the Dominican closer spent in Tampa Bay were mostly up.   

Jake Odorizzi played two Games with the Kansas City Royals in 2012, and he was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays for the 2013 season.  He played in the minors for most of that year, and he became a part of Tampa's starting rotation the season after.   That year, with his four-seam fastball, he would go 11-13 with a 4.13 ERA and was eighth in American League Rookie of the Year voting.

There were two Pitchers named Roberto Hernandez, who threw for the Rays.  This "Roberto Hernandez" was the first one with that name and by far the best one.
