Bourgeois claimed off waivers by Houston, Burns, Stern agree to minor league deals
Apparently the Brewers tried to pass Bourgeois (a Houston native) through waivers to outright him back to the minors, and he got claimed.
Meanwhile, Mike Burns gets little more than an extreme outside shot at making the rotation next spring, and Adam Stern, who spent most of 2009 in AA and will be 30 before spring training, remains on board as roster filler in an organization that needs warm bodies to play center field.

Lame
I liked Boojwa.
I don’t have a category for "washed-up guys who may or may not be dominant big-league closers sometime soon."

unless bref is somehow mistaken
He turns 30 in february.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.

Maybe he's an "old soul."

I've been called that.
I think it’s just because people get sick of me quickly.

Personally, I think it's a pretty good compliment.
Probably because it’s about 100 miles away from my personality. Closest I’ve ever been called is “that old asshole” by some of the folks I encounter at work.

Interesting...
with Cameron becoming a free agent, you’d think that they’d keep Bourgeois around at least through spring training.
Anyone have any idea why the Brewers decided to move him off their 40-man roster… particularly since they didn’t add anyone? Wouldn’t it make more sense to wait until they add someone… unless we’re about to hear something soon?
The Zack Grienke trade, of course
after the World Series.
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
Yep

Probably didn't think he was really an option in the major league outfield next season
