RAYS TRADE BALDELLI TO PHILLIES

The Rays and Phillies have agreed to a trade that would send Rocco Baldelli to the Phils and Pat Burrell to the Rays. Baldelli had this to say afterwards:
Quote:
"Its for the good of the team, I guess. I'm just happy to be a Phillie now".

Pat Burrell is expected to get the starting job at Right Field and bat 5th

You should start Zobrist. He's better than Bartlett.
