Re: Pierre to the Cubs
[ QUOTE ]
I don't like the deal a whole lot. I think 2 pitchers was probably enough, and pierre is pretty overrated.

Pierre is rated just about right.
I do think the Marlins make out like bandits here. Three more quality arms? You've got to figure at least one of those guys should end up being pretty good.
That being said, I don't think the Cubs overpaid by much. Having Pierre bat leadoff and Hairston bat second is going to help that offense. Also, they will certianly get something in return for Cory Patterson, who I would have to imagine is on the way out. Even if they keep Patterson, they can move Pierre to left where his arm is not as much of a liability.
