The Andrew Friedman to Houston rumors will only continue to get louder after the new ownership group is approved.

According to the 2010 edition of the baseball america prospect handbook this deal contains a top 10 prospect and two other top 30 prospects along the the Braves 2008 TOP prospect in Schafer, who was rated number one ahead of Jason Heyward. Obviously he has fallen off a bit and has hit a few rough patches, but I think they got a nice haul here. If they weren't going to get any of the four big starting pitchers you might as well get a package of players and hope maybe one can stick into a regular or maybe even better. Bourn was picked up as a side piece in the Brad Lidge deal four years ago, I think he did very well for you maybe Wade did a good job of flipping him, that remains to be seen, but this is a package of 3 top 30 prospects and one former TOP prospect.

He's not done fleecing the Astros he has plenty of work to do building the Phillies still. :lol:WJCIII said:
Seems like a great deal for Atlanta for sure.

I am excited that Wren finally got a player with speed, and got rid of the cancer known as Jordan Schafer. A deeper look into Bourn's numbers reveals a few things though:
2011 @ NL East Teams Parks:
Citi Field: 5/11
Citizens Bank: 1/12
Nationals Park: No AB's
Sun Life: 3/15
Turner Field: 1/9
Total: 10/47 (.212)
2011 vs. NL East Pitching Staffs:
vs. PHI: 1/12 2BB/3K, 0 SB
vs. NYM: 10/25 3BB/4K, 2 SB
vs. FLA: 7/27 4BB/5K, 1 SB
vs. WAS: 6/15 0BB/4K, 0 SB
Total: 24/79 (.303)
Judging by the numbers above it seems like most of his "damage" was done against NL East teams in Houston, which doesn't exactly help the Braves out.
Post AS Break 2011: 26/67; 17 K/4 BB; 4 SB, 3 CS (was 35 for 39 before the break)
2011 vs. Lefties: .284/.341/.397
Giants add: Beltran
Phillies add: Pence
Braves add: Bourn
Hmm, one of these things is not like the other.

I'm very happy about the trade. I'm a believer in Schafer and wish him the best in Houston.
