January 13, 200521 yr Contract details unavailable. The Marlins had previously expressed interest in RF Bautista. Remember when we traded him to Arizona for Andy Freakin' Fox? That didn't go so hot. :banghead
January 13, 200521 yr Good for the D-Rays. (I root for the low-budget teams.) I remember when we traded Bautista. I was upset. IMO he was the best 4th OF in Baseball. We gave him away, stupidly.
January 13, 200521 yr The D-RAys at least signed more than the O's and Blue Jays. They could finish third in the division this year. It's really not fair they have to face the Yanks and Red Sox when they could have been a playoff team in the NL last year.

We gave him away, stupidly. 654968[/snapback] lol, when bautista reached the majors with us, he was a JOURNEYMAN. He didn't do much for the D'Backs until recently out of all those years because he was injured ALL THE TIME! Fox gave us a solid, dependable backup for the OF and IF until the last season he was with us. He also filled in for a whole season, rather nicely that time Alex got injured, which is more production that year than Bautista did the whole time with the D'Backs if you look back at it. I almost wanted fox there as A STARTER!.

January 14, 200521 yr Nice pick-up for the Rays.....one of my favorite AL teams since I like to root for underdogs. There was quite a bit of discussion last summer regarding trading for Bautista to give us a legitimate #3 hitter. No doubt he will be a solid contributor for the Rays.
January 14, 200521 yr It's really not fair they have to face the Yanks and Red Sox when they could have been a playoff team in the NL last year. 654974[/snapback] I know they should be relocated. But they're my second favorite team. :confused
January 14, 200521 yr very nice pickup indeed I'm interested to see what they paid anything under 2.2 million would've been a steal
January 14, 200521 yr Good for the D-Rays.? (I root for the low-budget teams.) I remember when we traded Bautista.? I was upset.? IMO he was the best 4th OF in Baseball.? We gave him away, stupidly. 654968[/snapback] I like batista as well, but common 4th best OF? don't be such a homer! 655059[/snapback] he said best 4th, not 4th best :thumbup 655063[/snapback] Exactly. Thank you Maverick.
January 14, 200521 yr They guy has some ability but he has had a problem putting it toghether. He needs to be consistent,
