Ha.  I just found this on MLB Trade rumors.com

QuotePat Burrell Is Not A Bad Player

After reading Jerry Crasnick's article, I felt the need to point that out.

In the NL, the average left fielder hit .277/.359/.478 in 2006.  In the AL it was .280/.347/.449.

Pat Burrell hit .258/.388/.502 this season and .281/.389/.504 in 2005.  The guy posts an .890 OPS.  That's very good.  It's comfortably above average for a left fielder.  His OPS was 21st in the NL this year.  That's better than Scott Rolen, Todd Helton, or Nomar Garciaparra.  Not far behind Alfonso Soriano or Carlos Delgado.

"But Tim!" you'll say.  "He can't hit in the clutch!"  Yes, I acknowledge that Burrell hit just .222/.376/.346 with runners in scoring position.  That's a 153 AB sample.  It means nothing.  Just one year earlier Burrell hit .313./.429/.598 with runners in scoring position.

Looks like someone found himself a boyfriend.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

They were listing possible players to be traded on SC and Burrell's name was the first mentioned. The one thing the Phils got going in their favor is 29 HRs 95 RBIs and the fact that it seems only our fans know how bad he truly is. They mentioned the Giants and O's as possible destinations.

If they don't sign him I'm going to kill you.

I didn't make that. But they're not gonna sign him. Or maybe they will, but they won't win anything. It's the Phillies.

Johnny Marz said he heard the Phils will fax a 5 year 75 million offer to Soriano at 12:01. It won't be enough, but it is just a prelim.
Calling it right on the $ since day one.
Just pointing laughing, and living it up while watching the Miami Heat stink it up.

I have heard (I believe on MLB on XM) that negotiations with Soriano will start and end with six years.
