James Shields was absolutely hammered by the Angels on Friday, but still managed to earn a victory despite allowing nine runs (eight earned) on 11 hits over his five frames. Shields also walked three and struck out two in the game. He hasn't made a very positive impression on Royals' fans in his first spring camp, posting a 7.90 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 11/3 K/BB ratio over his 13 2/3 innings. Big Game James should have no problem turning it on once the season begins though, and figures to be a workhorse at the front of their rotation this season.
