Of course, Burrell was one of the big names discussed in a potential deal for Milton Bradley before he was traded for Carlos Silva. Burrell was hitting .202/.292/.333 with two HRs and 13 RBIs for the Rays. The Rays did this to make room for Hank Blalock, who has been hitting very well at AAA and had some out clauses in his contract if the Rays didn't bring him up and other teams were interested.
