Cubs/ Orioles announce a trade

[KDoc09]

After a week of discussion, the Cubs and Orioles have come to an agreement on the following.

Cubs receive:
OF Bourjos, Peter, $0.5m (P-2013)

Orioles receive:
P Miller, Shelby, $0.5m (P-n/a)
OF Chavez, Johermyn, $0.5m (P-n/a)

The Cubs acquire a young promising OF with a tremendous upside in Bourjos. As an Angels fan, I have had many opportunities to see him play over the last half-season and I really think that the sky is the limit for him. He has an excellent combination of power and blazing speed and I think as he grows and develops, he can become an All-Star caliber player. I hated to give up Miller; there is no arm in all of the minor leagues that I am more high on, but as they say, you've got to give up something to get something. Based on my system's depth, SP is more easily replaceable for me and I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to grab Bourjos. Chavez is a nice piece, but he was always more organizational depth for me than anything. Thanks to Shooter for the painless negotiations and I wish him luck in the rebuilding.

Orioles to confirm.

Orioles Confirm the Trade.  While the orioles hate to give up Bourjos one of the few MLB players on there roster and a young piece to build around I saw the oppurtunity to improve my pitching by getting one of the best young pitching prospects in the game as well as pick up a nice prospect OF to help improve my farm team for the rebuild.  I think Miller will develop in to a great MLB pitcher which my roster is severly missing.  Chavez is a young OF who has good power potential and will help improve my outfield depth.
