Posted January 5, 200916 yr 2 years/16 mil Andrew Friedman is a genius Lets review this off season which may not even be over. Price replaces Jackson in the rotation Nelson replaces Miller in the pen Niemann replaces Hammell in the pen Joyce replaces Hinske as the RF Burrell replaces Floyd as the DH wow
January 5, 200916 yr Author Actually, this is even more than close.... once Burrell passes his physical, he is a Ray!
January 5, 200916 yr Is official, ESPN just reported Burrell signed a 2 year 16mil contract with the Rays.
January 5, 200916 yr Very impressive. They did have to try and keep up the Yankees, but this is a very good team, as well. They did lose one LH from their starting lineup though. lol
January 5, 200916 yr Author So would he be the Rays full time DH? Yep take away his bad D, just use his very useful bat I love Andrew Friedman, I really do.
January 5, 200916 yr Btw Joe, you have to change your signature from "DH Free Agent awesome hitter" and write Pat Burrell. Sick.
January 5, 200916 yr That is a tasty looking lineup now! Add in the strong, young rotation and I think u guys have another great season on the cards. However it will be a much tougher challenge this year cos the Yanks are back and the Sox are always challengers.
January 5, 200916 yr Awesome signing. He fits perfectly with the Rays as a DH I'm also glad that we no longer have to face him :mischief (well, except for interleague) Oh, not to mention...he has a condo in Clearwater http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4pqki_pa...rellcribs_sport
January 5, 200916 yr Speaking of the Rays, its gonna be a Rays-Red Sox game at the Trop that I will hopefully be attending when Im over in the summer :thumbup Should I display my loyalty to the Marlins and wear my Hanley top, root for the away team cos I have a Dice-K top, or buy a Rays top for it. Decisions decisions lol......
January 5, 200916 yr Author Speaking of Rays have games in Yankee Stadium AND Citi Field this season, I will be seeing them.
January 5, 200916 yr Wow very nice move by the Rays, with the ridiculous money being thrown out there, 8 mill a year for Burell's bat isn't bad at all.
January 5, 200916 yr Author That was quick! Burrell has passed his physical and is officially a Ray. I am a happy person, yes I am.
January 6, 200916 yr Awesome! that should earn the Rays 3rd in the division now Hater?? They have a better overall team than the Red Sox. I see them taking the division again or taking the Wild Card
January 6, 200916 yr Author Awesome! that should earn the Rays 3rd in the division now Oh god, another one of these people. Yankees D outside of 1B is HORRID, Red Sox have a big problem if Ortiz still can't rebound without Manny, they needed Tex. Rays have above average D at all 8 spots, great pitching and something the Yankees haven't heard a lot about.....speed! Yankees are station to station, most of the Red Sox are too (although Ellsbury is quite quick)
January 6, 200916 yr Why did the Phillies sign Ibanez for 3/$31.5 when it seems as though Burrell could have been had for 2/$16-ish? Did they not want Pat the Bat, or did they particularly covet Ibanez?
January 6, 200916 yr Author Why did the Phillies sign Ibanez for 3/$31.5 when it seems as though Burrell could have been had for 2/$16-ish? Did they not want Pat the Bat, or did they particularly covet Ibanez? A lot of people are wondering the same thing. Bad move by the champs there.
January 6, 200916 yr Awesome! that should earn the Rays 3rd in the division now Hater?? They have a better overall team than the Red Sox. I see them taking the division again or taking the Wild Card Its not that Im hating, thats just my opinion.. Take it or leave it... I mean its a great move for them! but its not easy in the division where one team just got 3 studs... Ill put money on it that the Rays do not win the Division...

I already have money down on Joe Nelson so why not this too? How much money you wanna put on that?
January 6, 200916 yr Author ^^ Doesnt have to be money... It can be a ban bet.... 1 month ban bet.. you in? Make it 2.
