Thank you Chicago Cubs. You took Juan Pierre. I did not want him here. We’ve been down that road before with Tom Goodwin, Darryl Hamilton, & Damon Buford, and much more recently with Doug Glanville. I don’t think our outfield is the most stellar in existance, but I didn’t see the addition of Pierre as anything significantly better than what we already have.
This of course doesn’t say anything about our existing outfield (Matthews, Nix), although we could use a rightfielder – anyone think we might take a stab at Sammy Sosa? Not sure how I’d feel aout Manny Ramirez coming here. Would certainly help offensively, but we have had a power hitting headcase in right field before, and the moment Manny’s pants are too baggy, off will come the wheels. :)
