Greg Norton

I'd like to take this opportunity, on this blog, and say here's hoping Greg Norton gets a spot on the final 25 man roster of the Rays. I saw Greg on Sunday, here in Ft. Myers against the Twins, and thought he is exactly like the player Eduardo Perez was for the Rays the last couple of years. Like Perez, he bring a wealth of baseball knowledge that can only help the younger guys on the roster. I feel he is a great pinch hitter and a very adequate firstbaseman, who knows his role with the team, and can only help the Rays in that capacity. Here's hoping the Rays see him as a valuable piece to their 2006 puzzle.

He played for both......
The problem with Norton is, he is not versatile, and we cannot keep first base logs on the roster, that spot is just too valuable. If he hit lefthanders well, that would be one thing, but he does not. Look at his Left-Handed Splits from 2004
