I think 17 was the right number.
17 is a bargain for (at least) an upside of 36 dingers from a middle infielder.
I like it alot. Compared to every other 2B on his tier he was the cheapest and has the upside of more power than anyone other than Utley. Shouldn't hurt me and the upside is worth the price. Uggla is the only other guy I as considering there and he'll go cheaper, but he'll also bat .250 and I can't take another average hit.

Curious, would you have gone higher? I came *this close* to bidding $18.
After a whole lot of soul searching I finally bid $14 on Bourn. Actually it was Jesus in my dream last night who bitch slapped me and said I needed the SB's.

So did I. After bidding a little higher than I wanted on Morneau though, I decided I would go with a cheaper option.

I probably would have gone $19, but it wouldn't have been fun. I know he should be worth it, but Uggla may have been an enticing option when it came right down to it.
Looks like there will be a bunch of good deals, on players that I don't feel the need to have, this time around. I'd like to price enforce on a few, maybe later.
