Cardinals fans should be ecstatic about this trade.

I'm torn. I, too, think we could have gotten more for Bourjos, and frankly, I am more upset giving up Grichuk than I am Bourjos. But it has been so fucking long since we have had a 3B who could hit a HR.
What this makes me think is that we're now a lock to trade Kendrick. With Green in place to start at 2B, we can go do something significant with a Kendrick deal. And then we're also definitely looking to deal Trumbo.
This lineup is starting to look thin, though, in LF and DH (if we move Trumbo for pitching, as has been surmised).
