Usually a game on March 8th cannot be considered a big deal, even if it is against a division rival like the New York Yankees. However, this Saturday, 2007 number one pick David Price will make his spring debut.
Price was the number one overall pick in 2007 out of Vanderbilt. He was named College Player of the Year by Baseball America and the Rays have very high hopes for his future. Since Price is already 22 years old there is a chance that Rays fans could see him on their big league roster as soon as this fall.
Price is scheduled to throw only one inning on Saturday but Rays fans will have their eyes focused on him to see how he does in his first pro performance.

Re: Rays’ Spring Training Heroes
1) Just remember when the shoe is on the other foot sometime later this year: You started it.
2) Madden: Wears those cute glasses and wants to talk red wine? Gay or just metrosexual?
Add to #1 and #2 above: How’s Kazmir’s elbow? Regardless, you’re still finishing in 5th place in the division.
