I was confused by that, but then I looked them up. I didn't know they were that good.
I think the chance is more than slim. I've said it in the other thread, but Torre has no reason to feel loyalty to Pierre, and in New York he showed a willingness to play the kids over crappy vets, when the kids performed. Barring a trade of one either Kemp or Ethier for a starting pitcher, Pierre's consecutive game streak will end early this season.
Wait...someone who doesn't repeat the ridiculous orthodoxy that Torre was allergic to young players? Hope your armor's on.
Now tell me: Did Torre destroy Scott Proctor's arm? If Proctor gets hurt some time in the next few seasons, will that be proof Torre ruined his career?
Just this past season he made Melky the starting CF. Now, a hobbled Damon was still better than Pierre, and at least last season both Ethier and Kemp were better than Cabrera.
I agree with you, if that wasn't clear. Torre installed numerous unproven players into his lineup in NY.
Dodgers probably go to the playoffs if that happens.
Colleti quote...
Well, Ned, if you keep telling everyone they need to take Pierre along with Kemp in a trade, of course they'll stop asking.
R/G
Andruw Jones 4.2
Juan Pierre 4.4
Now THAT'S a thing of beauty.
Soylent green?
Minnesota? Baltimore? Oakland?
Would Ned like Matsui for Loney ;-)
People keep predicting that Colletti will trade a kid who's played well in the majors. It has yet to happen, and he's been on the job for two years now.
Acquiring Jones also allows the Dodgers to entertain offers for speedy center fielder Juan Pierre, the former Cub whom Guillen adores from their days together with the Marlins. The Sox are still in need of a legit leadoff hitter, and Pierre would team well at the top of the Sox’ lineup with newly acquired shortstop Orlando Cabrera — Williams’ lone bright spot this offseason — in the No. 2 spot. Say what you will about Pierre, but he would be an improvement over current leadoff favorite Jerry Owens.

Didn't that team win the World Series?
Yes, behind All-Star Scott Podsednik and his Game 2 home run!
One more reason to jeer the Andruw signing.
How many CFs have played 10+ seasons, averaging over 155 games per year? And what is their aging pattern?
Is that rhetorical? If you want to know go to B-Ref PI and do a search. You have to pay, but it's well worth it to support B-Ref.
Andruw also started really young (3 years young than Kingman) and he'll generate some great counting stats if he ages reasonably well. He's got 1683 hits and 368 HRs (and 10 GGs) and he's turning 31 at the beginning of next year. That's pretty incredible for someone who's never really been one of the best hitters in the league. Give him 550 HRs and 2600 hits and he makes the Hall easily.
And it'd still be a disappointing career based on how he looked as a 21-year old (which I don't say sarcastically). He was supposed to be Willie Mays, damn it.
