Now that teams know they won’t need to give up a draft pick, suitors are starting to line up for Pat Burrell. Reports are the Angels, Mariners, and Giants all have interest in the 32 year-old free agent.
All three of these teams could use a bat like Burrell, but the best fit might be the Giants. Burrell is originally from Northern California, and it would guarantee he would be the everyday leftfielder. Burrell has stated numerous times that he doesn’t have a desire to DH and in the American League, that’s where he’d most likely play. Should this happen Burrell would join former Phillie Aaron Rowand as the Giants would have two-thirds of the Phillies 2007 outfield.
For those of you who don’t know, the days of Pat Burrell patrolling left field for the Phillies are all but over.
