From Roch. Buck gushing about Steve Pearce.

Former Oriole Steve Pearce is in the Rays lineup tonight at first base. Showalter said he has a "bunch of" fond recollections.

"He's such a sincere guy," Showalter said. "He's a great teammate, he's a winning player. Always could count on him. You knew what you were getting from him every day. Loved to compete and he loved being here in Baltimore."

The Orioles didn't make an effort to re-sign Pearce, a Lakeland, Fla., native who agreed to a $4.75 million deal with the Rays.

"A lot of improvements we made were from having people like Steve Pearce around," Showalter said. "Happy for him. I know he lives down in that area. Of course, that isn't always everything it's cracked up to be, being in your hometown with tickets and stuff. But Tampa's lucky to have him. "You need me to play second? You need him to play third? You needed him to play center field? You need me to pitch, catch?? There was nothing beneath him. And he never forgot how hard it was for him to get there and how fleeting it all can be."

"He never takes a moment in the big leagues for granted."
