Peter Bourjos bats leadoff, shows off speed

Peter Bourjos made a surprise start on Wednesday night, batting leadoff and going 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored from in a 5-2 victory over the Phillies.
Fantasy Impact:
Bourjos made just his second start of the season but showed off his impressive speed, legging out a triple and beating a throw to the plate. He was also caught stealing once, but it's hard to complain about a performance that raised his season batting average by 114 points. If Bourjos could get regular playing time, especially at the top of the order, he would certainly warrant an add in fantasy leagues. The presence of Jon Jay limits his appeal at the moment.
