Re: Bourn to Braves
No top 50 prospects and best was Braves 9 prospect. Probably equivalent was Heisey + Boxberger and two lesser guys. Keep snoring Walt.

Re: Bourn to Braves
It is odd that I have felt relieved with almost every trade that's gone down this year.

Re: Bourn to Braves
At the prices players are costing this year, I'm very happy Walt hasn't pulled the trigger.

Re: Bourn to Braves
Sigh of relief here. I hope we survive the rest of the day.

Braves #7 prospect doesn't equal Reds #7 prospect Braves #8 prospect doesn't equal Reds #8 prospect... and so on If our GM is basing a players trade value off of BA's, BP's, ESPN's prospect rankings, we're in trouble...

If that was the cost for 1 year of Bourne, I really do hope Walt keeps snoring. Heisey likely has more value to us going forward (with 5 more controlable years) than 1 year of Bourne. |

Re: Bourn to Braves
Other than Matt Holliday, Bourn was the guy I've wanted the worst to add to our current lineup over the past few years. I've been saying he would be a perfect fit for us for two years. I wonder what our price would have been. Good for Atlanta. They've got a nice squad.
