Bourn---No thanks

[klaiggeb]

Again, a hyped player who some 'experts say is a fit for SF.

I disagree.

He can run. He can flat out play defense... but his arm...holy cow! That arm makes Juan Pierre's arm look strong!

Yes! It's that bad!

IF he'd take the job in LF, with Pagan in CF... we could "live" with him... but man! Everyone, including Boagie, Marc, Rog and I would score from 2B on a single!

Rog -- That Marc could do so is ESPECIALLY impressive!

Aging speedsters don't have a great track record, so Bourn would be yet another gamble. He's really fast and can go get 'em, but he doesn't get on base quite enough for a good leadoff man, and has next to no power.

He's better than Gregor Blanco, but I don't see a night and day difference, either.
