The Giants, in the market for a center fielder, are moving along in discussions with Juan Pierre, the National League leader with 204 hits last season. The word in Naples is that Pierre could get a deal for three years and about $30 million -- if not from San Francisco, then somebody else

 

One bonus to him being a type B, the signing team doesn't lose a pick so it won't be one of those "okay, we've agreed on a deal now lets wait until the arbitration deadline passes to sign it" type things.

Sure hope the uniform number 43 is available for Pierre. It would be a thing of beauty.

 

Could you immagine Alou and Slappy on the same team? The infield grass would be gone.

 

Oh, my, they wouldnt ever get a ball to home plate from that outfield...

Quick, offer arby if someone's going to offer that much.

 

We are in no rush to offer abritration, as long as it is by the deadline. If team signs him today we can still offer arbitration and get the picks

 

Isn't Pierre a type B free agent? If so, then the Cubs would get no compensation per the new labor agreement, right?

We get a supplemental pick. The Giants don't have to give up anything. Thats the difference. I think.

I would prefer him on the South Side :wink: but for that much money, I could care less where he goes as long as it's not back here.

Teams that lose a Type B free agent will now earn a sandwich pick instead of taking selection from club that signed player. Link

Yup. As long as he's not on the North Side next year I don't care where he goes.

Amen. Let the crazy market work in our favor for once and carry him far away.

We owe the Giants Pierre. Giving them LaTroy wasn't enough for the evil they unleashed on us by forcing Dusty down our throats.

Don't forget 1989. :evil:

 

Lets not forget, we got Williams and Aardsma in that trade. Worth it, I say.
