With a manager new to the TWSL the Rays head into the the draft with six starting pitchers. From L-R:
This collection of arms may not have the sizzle of some of the bigger names but there is some steak on the plate. Together these pitchers combined for 173 starts in 2011 as Hudson and Bumgarner led the way with 33 starts each. With an influx of health from Peavy, Tampa Bay may be fairly decent at the position moving forward. At this moment, Fausto Carmona and his false identity penalty scenario hasn't played out, so his availability for the coming year is in limbo. The Rays will need to rely on their arms because this current edition doesn't appear to be a juggernaut capable of generating many runs in 2011.
