4/4/09 GDT: Rays @ Phillies; Pat Burrell Leads Off, Seriously.
Game Time: 1:05
TV/Radio: 620 WDAE
Lineup:
Pat Burrell RF
Jason Bartlett SS
Carl Crawford LF
Evan Longoria 3B
Carlos Pena 1B
Gabe Kapler CF
Shawn Riggans C
Aki Iwamura 2B
Pitcher: Matt Garza
Things to watch: The top of the lineup. Yes, Bat Burrell is leading off and playing right field. The Rays regulars are only getting one turn in the lineup so Burrell's leadoff day should be over rather quickly. By the third inning Ray Sadler and crew should be running things. We hope Ray got his steak and shrimp on the plane ride over to Philly and he enjoyed the Evian showers at the major league ball park.

OT:
A source told AOL Fanhouse that a deal between the Rays and Rockies for right-hander Jason Hammel “may happen this weekend.”
Hammel, who is out of minor league options, might be the odd man out in the Rays’ rotation and would easily slide into a Colorado rotation that currently includes Jason Marquis and Jorge De La Rosa. The Rays are reportedly seeking prospects from the Double-A level.
