The Tampa Bay Rays have signed first baseman Casey Kotchman to a Minor League deal with an invitation to Spring Training, according to Marc Topkin of the St. Petersburg Times.
Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated adds that Kotchman will receive $750,000 plus performance bonuses. The assumption is that these payments are contingent upon the first baseman making the team. Kotchman made $3.5 million last season.
If Kotchman makes the team, he will return home where he was born and attended Seminole High School in nearby Seminole, Florida.
Kotchman spent all of the 2010 season with the Seattle Mariners after he was traded by the Boston Red Sox to the Mariners. The 27-year-old is a lifetime .259/.326/.392 hitter. He’ll have the opportunity to spell Dan Johnson at first base and get time as a designated hitter if he makes the big league roster.

When I first saw this title Rays sign Casey Kotchman to Minor League deal on google I just whent and bookmark it. This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

The subsequent time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I imply, I do know it was my option to read, however I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you possibly can repair when you werent too busy on the lookout for attention.
