HOLY COW

That's what we needed...

Shields could have easily waited out free agency and gotten a good deal as a closer somewhere else. Glad that he's content to be a team player in a successful organization...

I messed with Texas!

He was already easy to like, this just makes me that much more of a fan. Gotta give the Stoneman some credit, he's been able to lock the long term contracts up with consistancy.

shields eats innings, is in his panther prime, and signed for cheap.

Team player: Scot Shields

You're not going to find another team player or more likeable guy than Scot Shields. I'm beyond impressed with his unselfish / team first attitude. Thank you Scot... you're a blessing to this team and the fans.
