"When Shieldsy is able to locate well with his fastball, everything else works off of that, and of course you can say that about almost any pitcher. But with him particularly, when he's really dotting down and away both to righties and lefties, fastball, and then he works a very, very good changeup off of it -- and I'll say it again, I love his curveball -- when he's got all those things going on, he's a pretty good pitcher." – Tampa Bay Rays Manager Joe Maddon on MLB.com (Ian Browne, 10/06/2010, 'Struggling Shields confident heading to Game 2', Source)
