08:13 AM ET 02.21 | Depending on your calculations, the Rays may have as many as eight candidates for the five-man rotation. All of which leaves Wade Davis and Jeff Niemann battling for one spot. And the other apparently headed to the bullpen. Davis, 26, is adamant that he doesn't want to go. "I'm a starter," he said. "I don't see any reason for me to be in the bullpen. I understand they've got to do certain things, but we'll see. ... I definitely want to be a starter and stay a starter forever. And that'll be my mentality." ... And if he is sent [to the bullpen], he might end up approaching them, though he wouldn't have much leverage to force a trade. "If it ever did come to that, it's something we'd talk about then," he said.

He's signed to a team friendly contract. I expect Niemann to be traded before Spring Training is over.

Well, Durham is a cool town.
That said, the Rays should just go with a 6-man rotation and if anyone starts slow, move them to middle relief til they get their act in gear.

in the A's team he may be for short time, knowing how the A's are about business he would be gone in a blink to another team!!

Niemann will be gone soon. They'll scout some prospects from another organization and get a deal done. And then Davis, Shields, Price, Hellickson, Archer, and so on.

You can never have too much pitching. The Rays seem to have a plethora of good young arms. It's a nice problem to have.

I'm sure the Tigers have another Matt Joyce to trade for Davis. I think we call him Clete Thomas.
