Good signing I guess, but they were better off paying Bourn that much if he was willing to take it. Better at everything but hitting homers.

Not bad but I'm pretty sure Bourn is going to get paid more.

Am I the only one slightly surprised by how intelligent he comes across on Twitter when compared to the other athletes out there?

Definitely going to be weird seeing BJ Upton is a Braves uniform. Since I started watching baseball as a kid, he was a Ray. I didn't know he would get this much money though since I hear about him being a cancer in the clubhouse sometimes too.

Who are you referring to BC?

Haha I see what you're saying, you don't seem to give athletes much credit though
