What's with these fan speculated Bourjos rumors?

[tdawg87]

I wasn't 100% serious, but I am going to go ahead and assume that last year was a fluke year for Gomez.

[Brandon]

I saw one rumor that Arte personally instructed Sciosia to play Trout in CF for Trout Bobblehead day, hence why we have Shuck and not Bourjos playing.

 

Use an option for PR purposes. Nice.

[Oz27]

To anyone who suggests trading Bourjos for pitching, who rounds out the lineup once he's gone? Either Trumbo plays in the OF and we find a DH or Trumbo stays at DH and we find an OF. Given Calhoun is injured for five weeks, who is it? Schuck? Conger? Either way, shit.

 

Trading an outfielder only makes sense if you have more than you need. We don't.

I don't agree with that at all. When your team has more pressing needs (pitching), you sacrifice a player in order to fill those needs. It's not always about giving up your scraps that you "don't really need". I'd say the hole(s) in the rotation are much more significant than a hole that would be created by trading Bourjos.

Hey, we did already have a suggestion to bring back Vlad last night.

[AZMike]

Hey, we did already have a suggestion to bring back Vlad last night.

We even had a suggestion to bring back Mo Vaughn as a manager.

[Docwaukee]

Trumbo for Wandy Rodriguez.  Bucs bring up Cole.  Halos bring up Cron. 

[Stradling]

We could have had Wandy for a lot less than Trumbo last season.

Why the hell of trade Wells if were going to trade Bourjos?

[AZMike]

Why the hell of trade Wells if were going to trade Bourjos?

 

I think we might trade Bourjos at the end of this year, but only if a replacement (Calhoun or Witherspoon perhaps) who is significantly better than Shuck is ready to be called up. 

[Mark68]

Why the hell of trade Wells if were going to trade Bourjos?

Because Wells.

[VariousCrap]

The did every move they could to keep Bourjos. They are not going to trade.

[YouthofToday]

Why would a team trade MLB pitching to us at tgis point of the season unless it was a Tony Reagins type haul for them?!?!

[Troll Daddy]

Because Wells.

 

Wrong senor .... MONEY

[Quinlanforthewin]

Bourjos > Gomez

 

That's insane

[edcoffin]

Bourjos for Matt Harrison.

That one couldn't move - has no legs at all.  The Rangers have Gentry and Martin now, with Engel Beltre, Lewis Brinson, and a couple others down in the system.  And just now shedding Julio Borbon since he's out of options.  Stacked with CF'ers with speed.  Getting a regular rotation starter for PB would take a ninja act.

[Tyler]

Bourjos, Conger, Trumbo for David Price

[John Shay]

Bourjos isn't going anywhere. One hitless night and were ready to deal him? He's a victim of Fat Mikes seat getting extremly hot and name wasn't pulled out of the hat tonight.

[SoWhat]

Trout for Price and Myers

[HaloFan85]

If PB is traded in favor of Shuck, Sosh and/or JP needs to be thrown out by their ear.  Kid does his job and still gets benched.

[Glen]

He needed the night off after playing a week in a row.

[xboom28x]

Bourjos wouldn't fetch anything better than Vargas/Blanton/Hanson alone and the cupboard is bare in the minors.

God I hope that isn't true.  I hope Mike just wanted to rest PB with Richards on the mound who is more of a ground ball pitcher while the other pitchers are fly ball pitchers and PB will be more needed.

[TroutField]

Why do people make up trade proposals that include Bourjos or Trumbo and it's even funnier when they both are in a trade package. Why not send two of our three best young players out in a package? That sounds like a great idea!
