Burroughs Signs

The Pads have signed Sean Burroughs to a 1-year contract worth $1.675M guaranteed + $200k in bonuses based on plate appearances. That’s comparable to what the Reds gave Joe Randa (1 year/$2.15M) as a free agent. Here are their respective stats from last year (ages are for 2005 season):

           Age  AB  BA OBP SLG
Burroughs   24 523 298 348 365
Randa       35 485 287 343 408

Seems about right. This might’ve been a good time to try and lock up Burroughs long-term. His value likely never will be lower.
