Pierre imo was a classic example of setting up a team around the personel. A Pierre type was one of the biggest needs, becuase with this mananager we need to have a slam dunk no doubt about it leadoff hitter, or else he'll make stupid decisions about who to put there. Pierre was the guy that Hendry could get, and I really bet by the end of the season having Juan Pierre in center and leading off is not going to be near a problem for the success or failure of this team. Giving up 3 pitchers including 2 top prospects (within or system) may have been a bit much, but i'm not sure that they are going to haunt Jim down the line.
