a few more tonight. this guy is a better version of kenny lofton.

Well, Lofton is 43 years old, so yeah, he is a better version of him.

In all seriousness, Taveras is on the verge of turning the corner as a fantasy outfielder.

He showed the hitting ability in 07...

He showed the legit SB ability in 08...

...and he's well on his way to combining the two in 09.

New Cardinals outfielder Peter Bourjos said he didn’t expect to be designated a regular just yet but he had a lofty goal if he received significant playing time this season.

“I’d like to be in the 40s,” said Bourjos, referring to his potential stolen-base total as he was interviewed at the Cardinals’ Winter Warm-Up, which wrapped up Monday.

“It’s all about how you’re swinging the bat,” said Bourjos. “In the minor leagues, I had a season where I stole 50 bags and I had a lot of seasons where I was in the 30s. So, in the 30-to-40 range would be nice.”

Holding Taveras is several keeper leagues waiting for the explosion. Laugh while you can, but that hundo is coming.

He must be hoping the Cards get him 900 at-bats this season.
