Back in November, just days after the World Series, not many of us would have even considered the possibility of Pat Burrell signing with the Rays.

Right?

But there was one writer that proved prescient...

That is from Tim Dierkes of MLB Trade Rumors and his predictions for the Top 50 free agents.
