I'd hold on to Bourbon...Aviles is going to split time w/ Betancourt for the time being.

Not sure what you could get for Alexei right now, he's ice-cold. Aviles is a decent gamble, but his playing time will really hamper his potential until he plays himself into an everyday gig. As frustrating as Borbon has been, compared to those options I would rather hold onto Borbon.
