		<description><![CDATA[According to Ken Rosenthal, via MLB Trade Rumors, the Rays are close to signing former Phillie outfielder Pat Burrell to a two year $16 million deal. This move makes way too much sense for all parties involved to not happen. Burrell is the right handed bat that the Rays are looking for to slot at DH on a regular basis and he comes fairly cheap. The contract that&#8217;s speculated on above is a perfect fit for the Rays and their budget. I really like this move for a few reasons. Burrell can still hit and we won&#8217;t have to watch him stumble around in the outfield too often. He comes with no baggage and seems like he would fit right in to the clubhouse the Rays currently have.This move also allows the Rays to hopefully leave Fernando Perez in AAA Durham for at least another year of seasoning. It also would allow the Rays to put the Abreu/Giambi fiasco to bed and focus on upgrading the bullpen. I was no fan of Abreu or Giambi so it makes me pretty happy there. With Burrell coming fairly cheap as well this may put Brandon Lyon and/or Joe Beimel into the picture as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was a busy week in the AL East and I had to sit down and look at it tonight. I&#8217;ve been listening to the radio and reading about the moves being made and I came up with this. The Rays are much smarter than the Yankees.  There are a few good things about being a small market team and they&#8217;re showing during the winter baseball season. Let&#8217;s break it down. The Yankees signed CC Sabathia to a $161 million deal and brought one of the best pitchers in baseball to New York. But how much did this improve them? I honestly don&#8217;t think it improved them much at all. Think about it like this. They signed a guy that won 17 games last year to replace a guy that won 20. Now I&#8217;ll say that Sabathia is better than Mussina and he would&#8217;ve probably won 22 or 23 games with the Yankees last year with the same run support Mussina got, but that&#8217;s still only a 3 game improvement. Not enough for that kind of money. They also signed AJ Burnett to fill in the rotation but they haven&#8217;t re-signed Andy Pettitte yet. That&#8217;s a 4 game improvement if [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t bring myself to say that the Yankees win, so I say we lose. Apparently the Devil Rays have suited up again and the Yankees have found the fountain of juice. There were a ton of broken bat bloopers, bad infield play and just all around bad luck. I don&#8217;t feel Jackson pitched awful, he was more a victim of circumstance tonight. I&#8217;m not saying he was good, just that the Yanks were catching all the breaks. As much as I hate the Yankees, I&#8217;m not going to overreact to all this though. We&#8217;re still down a couple players, the pitching is going to have some bad outings and the defense can&#8217;t be stellar every night. We all have to remember how things have gone for us this year. Most of the year, with guys like Gabe Gross batting .230ish, we got hits at all the right times in all the right places. I don&#8217;t like any slump coming now, but it happens. So let&#8217;s all just chill. Note time&#8230; No one should ever throw a fastball low and inside to Gabe Gross. That was an absolute bomb he hit. You couldn&#8217;t draw up a better pitch for him [...]]]></description>
