If Pierre is what the Cubs need, which I think he is; I don't see any correlation between Pierre and Pie (other than CF). If Pie is the all-world player that he's put up to be, playing RF might be okay for him. I contend that with Jones, we have a guy who we can conceivably get rid of via trade (if needed). His contract is not so outrageous that if a deal is close, we could eat some contract. It's already been established that Pie is not a lead off hitter, so if Pierre leaves and Pie is called up as a replacement, who is a likely lead off candidate? Sadly it is Pie and we're looking another CPatt situation square in the eye.
