Except we'd have him for a year and a half, versus the rest of the season like Beltran. And his contract is more than reasonable. Oh, and if you go by WAR, Bourn is a better player.
I know, but it's not like we're going to win 90 games next year. So the difference isn't that significant.
And FanGraphs has Beltran at 3.7 WAR and Bourn at 3.4...
