James Shields made his Major League debut for the Tampa Bay Rays in 2006, and he would play there until 2012.  Starting 217 of his 218 Games, a Ray, Shields became an upper-end starter and certified innings eater for the team.

Kevin Kiermaier might go down in hstory as the greatest defensive player in Tampa Bay history.

David Price was the first overall draft pick in 2007, and he would make his highly anticipated Rays debut in September of 2008.  He played in the Rays' postseason run to the World Series in a relief capacity, but come the next season, and he was ready to take on his intended role as a starter.

When you talk about versatile players, Ben Zobrist often comes to the forefront of the mind.

Zobrist arrived in 2006 in a trade from Houston, where he was able to make his Major League debut with the Rays.  Zobrist was a role player for the next two years and would become the starting Shortstop for Tampa, but he would often play Second Base and Outfield and fill in where ever he was needed.
