Jim Hendry on XM re: Juan Pierre
Hendry is thrilled to have Juan Pierre. The Cubs had
been trying to get him for 2 years, &
very much needed a lead-off hitter. Others who know
him, like Derrick Lee, speak highly of his character
as well. He's also a good CF. Jim said it was a very
high stakes deal, with the Cubs having to give up a
lot to get Pierre. He said the Marlins were very astute
& informed about every rookie in the universe.
Re: Corey Patterson, was headed for stardom,
but things fell apart. At worst he can run & play
defense, whether with the Cubs or elsewhere. Hendry
says he loves Ryan Dempster as their closer, & is
glad they signed him for 3 years.
