Premature Praise | You know Pat Burrell had a bad year when the big news out of Clearwater yesterday was that he hammered a hanging curveball out of Bright House Networks Field in an intrasquad game. I mean, what's next? Breathless reports that Jimmy Rollins took a 3-0 pitch after the pitcher had walked the bases loaded? (Well, actually ... .) Believe me, I would love for Burrell to regain his stroke, but let's wait until we start seeing some real pitching out there before get all dreamy-eyed, okay?
