BREAKING NEWS: PIERRE TO CUBS....

The Cubs have traded for Florida CF Juan Pierre early this morning of December 7th. They will be giving up minor league pitchers Renyel Pinto and Rickey Nolasco. The Cubs will also be getting a so-far unnamed Florida minor leaguer back in the deal. With this move the Cubs have now gotton rid of both of thier Baseball America minor league all-star pitchers (Nolasco and Jermaine Van Buren). It's too be seen whether or not this move will work out for the Cubs as Pierre had a serious decline last season. We know that we'll get sub-par defense out of him, but if he doesn't hit then the Cubs are in trouble. More on this pickup to come....
