The St. Louis Cardinals are masters of reclamation cases.
Michael Bourn might just be the next in this series. Released on the April 2nd from the Atlanta Braves, Bourn could spell some needed relief in the already-crowded outfield.
With a crowded outfield, why would the Cardinals even consider jumping at Bourn?
With a ten-year career slash line of .266/.331/.356 one obviously wonders about any benefit. That said, Bourn brings more to the table than offense.
In light of the injury to Tommy Pham that could last as long as a full month, the Cardinals might be on the lookout for a player like Pham would could spell additional time for Matt Holliday at first base.
