2012
Bourgeois finished the 2011 season with a .294 batting average and 31 steals over 238 at-bats. His steals make him valuable in most fantasy formats, but his .323 OBP puts him in the lower half among leadoff hitters and a very low walk rate (four percent) suggests that he's unlikely to improve his plate discipline much at age 30. Bourgeois played well in center field last season and figures to continue to play all over the field, mostly in the outfield with an occasional start at second base.
2011
The longer this goes on, the more it looks like Bourgeois has hit his ceiling in the high minors. Over the past three seasons, the speedy outfielder has put up a .309/.354/.423 line at Triple-A and a .215/.285/.276 line in the big leagues. Bourgeois brings speed and defense to the table, and can serve as a defensive replacement in either outfield corner or at second base, where he made a brief appearance last season. He'll battle Brian Bogusevic for the last spot on the bench, and if he sticks, could also see some additional at-bats filling in for Jeff Keppinger.
2010
Bourgeois spent most of 2009 at Triple-A Nashville where he hit .314 with 35 stolen bases. His speed and defense keep him hanging around in the minors, but his lack of power doesn't allow him to find a major league job. He'll likely start the season in the minors and wait for an injury that allows him another trip to the majors.
2005
Another poor season at Double-A Frisco has Bourgeois' long-term future in doubt. He's still plenty young enough to improve, but is going to have to start hitting Double-A pitching before he can progress further.
2004
Bourgeois struggled following a mid-year promotion to Double-A. The Texas brass has moved him to second base and he'll need a retrenching year at Double-A before we can start to project his eventual role in the majors.
