Luke Scott confirmed to Marc Topkin of the St. Petersburg Times that he has agreed to a one-year contract with the Rays which includes a club option for 2013. The dollar amount isn't yet known, but Scott said that the contract includes some incentives. He expects to serve as the primary designated hitter, which marks the end of Johnny Damon's tenure in Tampa Bay, and also play some first base. The 33-year-old underwent season-ending surgery on his right shoulder last July, but has been hitting off a tee for six weeks and just started a throwing program. "There's no reason why I shouldn't be ready for opening day,'' said Scott.
