It depends. If Pierre just costs Patterson and a P like Mitre, then I'd not be opposed to Pierre, because it keeps Neifi out of the leadoff spot, and Pierre is an upgrade, albeit overrated. I don't like Lofton. I don't like sticking Patterson back in there, because, as much as I want Corey to succeed, I don't think it will even happen here. Pie isn't ready; I don't want him near Wrigley until September. I don't know of any other CF options, other than Michaels from Philly. So, being no Pierre fan, I'll go with a trade for Pierre. I agree with pretty much everything you said. Don't like Lofton, Pie shouldn't be rushed and I don't see any other good realistic options for us in CF, so I'd say a trade for Pierre is the way we should go as well.
