Phillies Trade Machine: Peter Bourjos to Baltimore

I believe the majority of Philadelphia Phillies fans can agree that this team is nowhere near contention. They’re going to be a solid .500 team this year and fall a handful of games out of the second wild card spot.

Because of that and the fact they are building towards the future, they need to alleviate themselves of some of their trade assets.

While his bat is not worth much, Peter Bourjos’s glove and legs are. Bourjos has always been known as a low offensive/high defensive caliber player. His range factor in right field (Total number of outs participated in, divide putouts and assists by number of innings or games played at a position ((PO+A)/INN))) is higher than that of Bryce Harper or Jason Haywards.
