By the way, for those saying they like the trade, do you think this might hurt our draft slot?

Not really. Bourn could maybe represent an upgrade over Perez/Gomes, but not enough to make a real impact.

Swisher is definitely a negative value guy. Doesn't do anything well these days.

Lead off hitter with speed could make a difference.

Don't think he has much speed left.

Missing Simmons at short.

From should be DP, to probably losing the ballgame.

Marksberry looks like a possible long term loogy.

Good luck with those two. Bourne stopped stealing bases as soon as hit CLE. Swisher started getting hurt soon thereafter. CLE thought Swish could be a meat of the order/drive in runs guy and came to realize he was propped up by the Yankee lineup he played in prior.

I think we have more home games left than any team. Feel like we've already played most of the big contenders out of the division already.

I mean we aren't making up 8.5 games on 2 teams with this roster, but we will be solidly in 3rd.

We are like 11-2 against the Marlins. We suck against everyone else.

Ok actually looked at our schedule. Still a lot of tough games left.

I just hope we spoil the Nats

Yep, we've gone 15-4 against the Marlins and Brewers, 36-56 against everyone else. Next two months are going to be rough.
