He has tons of talent but hasn't been consistent enough to be worth a contract of this stature. Hopefully he'll step it up. I hold final judgement until around May next year.

Bourne is older and doesn't translate as well as Upton does into the later years of his career. I'll take a speedy, 30/30 guy who strikes out a lot over pure speed, leadoff guy.
