Jason Jerrod Bourgeois (born January 4, 1982 in Houston, Texas) is a Major League Baseball player for the Houston Astros. Bourgeois plays all outfield positions and second base.

[edit] Baseball career

Bourgeois was drafted in the second round of the 2000 Major League Baseball Draft by the Texas Rangers. He played in the Rangers organization until the Atlanta Braves claimed him off waivers on March 23, 2005. His stay in Atlanta was short, however, as the Seattle Mariners selected Bourgeois in the Rule 5 Draft on December 8, 2005. Seattle would soon release Bourgeois and on December 19, 2006, he signed a contract with the Chicago White Sox. He was recalled by the Chicago White Sox on September 6, 2008, and made his major league debut on September 9. Bourgeois is the last player to get his first major league hit at the original Yankee Stadium.

On November 24, 2008, the Milwaukee Brewers signed Bourgeois to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training. He was assigned to play for with the Nashville Sounds of the Triple A Pacific Coast League.

On August 12, 2009, he was called to play for the Brewers to replace Bill Hall, who was designated for assignment.^[1]

Bourgeois was claimed off waivers by the Houston Astros on October 26, 2009.
