Cubs offer to FLA for Pierre is....

[USSoccer]

Once again, the only way I'm even halfway interested in Pierre is if every reasonable attempt to get Bradley, Wilkerson, or Michaels is shot down. Even then I wouldn't give up too much for Pierre - mostly just Rule 5/optionless spare parts. Mediocre one-year rentals shouldn't cost that much.

 

I think Bradley should be below Pierre in terms of priorities/desirability. He should be the player we'd give spare parts to. Injury history, only a season and a half of good production, clubhouse issues + Baker the Enabler...I'd rather overpay to get Pierre than overpay for Bradley.

 

I assume you mean Bradley's 2003 and 2005 as has one and a half good season. So you aren't counting Bradley's 2004 as a good season (362 OBP, 424 Slugging), but you are advocating Pierre, whos best season is 378/415 (which was in 2001, while he was playing in Coors)? I'm really confused.

 

I was actually referring to the fact that in 3 years he's played about 2 years worth of games. So I should have put in another way.

 

And I'm not really advocating Pierre so much as I'm knocking Bradley down. It's pretty well documented I'm not the biggest Pierre fan, but he's not the worst possible option at this point.
