Getting Shields for Bourjos would have been very foolish of the Rays and a major coup for the Angels. That said, I think Bourjo's is a quality chip the Angels have to offer the Marlins and/or Brewers in the competition for Greinke/Johnson.

CJ Cron is the guy that I would want in a Shields trade. Shields has 2 years left on his deal. Bourjos, Conger, and Cron too much for Shields? Probabaly. That's what I'd ask for though.
