Maybe i'm crazy, maybe my memory is faulty, but I don't remember Bourgeois being all that bad a player.

AND I just checked and I knew it. .316 and 36 SBs last year in AAA. 36 SB would be nice for a Brewers team that is god awful at stealing bases as it is.

At 27 (soon to be 28) Bourgeois seems to be a AAAA player, a little too good for the minors but not good enough for the majors. The Astros will be his 4th organization in the last 4 years. One thing with the Astros though is if he can put up a decent spring he could compete for a spot on their bench as they had no speed threats at all of the bench last season.

Love the move as a Marlins fan, too. Hermida definitely fell short of expectations as a Marlin.

Re: Todays Transactions 2010

This is why they should've traded Hardy before the season. Now all we get out of the deal is Carlos Gomez who, while a decent player, isn't what I was expecting would come from dealing Hardy.

Besides, the Brewers need pitching. Badly.
