So, Pitchers and Catchers have reported as have some position players! YES!!!!!! Finally! Something other than news from Congress about HGH and Clemens. (By the way Congress, figure out the budget, get a better national healthcare plan, figure out the mortgage crisis and bring the troops home instead of using OUR MONEY TO ASK CLEMENS WHAT HAT HE'S WEARING TO THE HALL OF FAME!!!!! He won't be in there at this pace!)
I digress.
Big Dodgers news this week, Juan Pierre might be open to being traded if he loses his starting OF job to Ethier. Well, ah, ok. Would the phrase "don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out" be appropriate? I honestly was ok with Pierre's signing, except for the money we gave him. He's fast and LA has a lot of room in CF to cover. He steals bases so Furcal and Pierre should be havoc on the basepaths. None of this really came to fruition though. He did steal a lot of bases but that old adage, "you can't steal first" applies well. As a leadoff man he sucked! He never takes a walk and hits FAR TOO MANY fly balls. This guy should be slapping the ball over the INF or laying down bunts and beating out the throw. Alas, he doesn't. AND his arm is worse than the love child of Dave Roberts and Brett Butler. I mean seriously, how can you not even hit the cutoff guy without a hop??? WEAK WEAK WEAKASS ARM! Cost us several runs there alone.
So, if he doesn't get PT, he wants out. FINE! Not sure what we can get for him, especially with that contract but I'd offer him around. Maybe we could get Matt Herges, Brett Tomko or Mark Hendrickson for him. Or at least a case of sunflower seeds and maybe some line chalk. Odds are, Torre sticks him in LF, benches and ruins either Kemp or Ethier and Pierre matches his 07 numbers. Oh well. I'm a Dodger fan, I'm used to it.
