I would be willing to bet that Buck wishes he could have kept him.

Yeah. He's an older, faster Joey Rickard.

Bourn was a good player for us. I wish him well.

He could have probably signed a minor league deal with us.

Teams just picking up our scraps.  Atlanta not only picked up Markakis, Roe, JJ, but also picked up like our whole AAA OF, and our top two pitching coaches.  

Don't be surprised to see Bourn back on Aug. 31st and be on the team once rosters expand.

It happens that way.  When you are one of the best teams in baseball over a 5+ year stretch, as we have been, your scraps have value to lesser teams.
