After agreeing to terms with the Rays, Burrell will likely be Tampa Bay's designated hitter in 2009. The Tampa Bay Rays won't pretend they can keep up with the New York Yankees in the free agent market, but after signing outfielder/DH Pat Burrell to a two-year, $16 million contract Monday, they still believe they're the team to beat in the powerful American League East. "We're a much improved team today than we were at the end of last season," Rays general manager Andrew Friedman said. "We feel like our pitching and defense will remain strong, and we feel like our lineup has gotten a lot better. He solidifies the middle of our already potent lineup." Friedman said Burrell, who will be the primary DH, is the first of several free agents expected to sign this week. "This is a team I had a lot of interest in going to," said Burrell.
