A division foe is crossing the border and defecting. Friday afternoon, the Phillies announced that they had acquired Miami Marlins 1B Justin Bour on a waiver trade. In return, they gave Miami left-handed pitcher McKenzie Mills, whom the Phillies had previously picked up from the Washington Nationals for Howie Kendrick last season. The Phils also received some cash to help cover the remaining balance of Bour’s salary this season.
Okay, so, what kind of player is Justin Bour, really? And how does he fit on this team?
