Is Pat Burrell a victim of the old player skill set?

I'm just glad he is raking it for us

The biggest difference was for Burrell that he's playing everyday, playing defense instead of DH 4 times a game. Outside of baseball it seems like a small thing, but in reality its huge, physically and psychologically.

And right now, I am happy with Matt Joyce.

Pat Burrell(notes) hit a three-run homer to back Tim Lincecum(notes), and the first-place San Francisco Giants remained two games ahead of San Diego in the NL West with a 3-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night.

This mother****er...

****ing Raytarded move to release him and let him sign with the Giants

Burrell is definitely not a DH

I was watching last night. I get the whole (as Pat was quoted by the announcer), " I just never felt a part of the game, waiting an hour to an hour and a half to get in"........but couldn't help yelling the word bastard!

He wasn't doing anything for the Rays, so in hindsight, it was a good move by them and of course, a good move for San Francisco.

Also, I had no idea he drew over a 100 walks in 2007, and then in 2008.
