Jays at Rays

The big guns are stacked in the middle of the Rays order today for the first time this spring.

Evan Longoria is batting third. Carlos Pena is batting fourth and Pat Burrell is batting fifth.

"We're going to take it for a drive around the block and see how it rides," Pena said.

Maddon said we'll see more of that grouping during the rest of the spring and probably at the start of the regular season.

Matrt Garza, Andy Sonnanstine and David Price are schduled to make their spring debuts today.

The Rays made some cuts before the game. The most noteable is pitcher James Houser, the Sarasota native who was a second-round pick in 2003.
