Pat The Bat
Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle says Pat Burrell is open to returning as a free agent next season even if he would not play every day.
“I cam here from being on the couch doing nothing. It wasn’t like my phone was ringing off the hook,” said Burrell, who turns 34 next month. “For me, I got a lot of appreciation for this club giving me a chance. I’d be thrilled if they wanted to have me back.”
