Not if he keeps OPSing in the 600s. Actually, that's how good he is defensively, he's really out of this world as an outfielder. The Cubs aren't in a great position when it comes to Pie. Kosuke is going to get paid, so he gets first crack at the "disappointing left handed outfield bat that plays great defense" half of a platoon. Pie's not going to develop much as a 5th outfielder and there's no way they give him a starting OF spot, but his trade value isn't much to make it worth dealing him. JMO of course, but here's how I'd rank the output we'd get from some of the options we've heard, assuming a Kosuke/Johnson platoon in CF, and ignoring the contract they'd get. Bradley Winn DeRosa Hermida DeJesus Abreu Dunn Pie Ibanez Randy Winn? Really?
