Freese for Bourjos

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Internet says.

Not putting this in that Prince Fielder thread.

I guess that allows Trout to move back to CF where he goes from super-duper valuable to super-duper-pooper valuable.
Freese certainly fell from grace in the eyes of StL. WS hero in 2011, was barely average since.

Very Cardly to me, though. Very Cardly.

Memory of David Freese

St.L got a very good CFer, 26, with some power and some speed, who put up good numbers in his 1 full-time season.
Freese will be 31, whose 1 good year was not as good as Bourjos'.
St.L wins.

I think there's also prospects in this deal but yeah. I don;t think Jay was a championship-level CFer anyway while Bourjos is Lagaresesque

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, watching the Cardinals for a sustained stretch during the post-season I was surprised at how, ummm, how do I put this, 'Not Good' Jay looked defensively.
I had thought he was a lot better based on SSS (small sample size) viewings, but he's not that fast, plays very deep in an attempt to compensate, and doesn't throw all that well.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Bourjos? He fast, yo.
