November 19, 200520 yr The White Sox have interest in acquiring Juan Pierre, perhaps for Damaso Marte and/or Aaron Rowand. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but with multiple sources reporting the story, there must be some truth to it. Pierre is both a worse player than Rowand and the more expensive of the two. Plus, he'd only be under the club's control for one year. If the White Sox do decide they need Pierre to go along with Scott Podsednik, they should at least refuse to give up Rowand in the deal and try to use him to upgrade elsewhere.

November 19, 200520 yr i would say this is a nice upgrade. wasn't Rowand very close to winning the gold glove this year in CF?
November 19, 200520 yr Author "Is it Roward for Pierre straight up?" Maybe even more. It might include Marte.
November 19, 200520 yr Rowand would be a welcome addition, but the question is how much better is he defensively than Juan Pierre? How old is this guy? All I know about him is that he was a blue chip prospect about a year or two ago?
November 19, 200520 yr Rowand and Marte for JP, I'll do it in a sec! All though I love my boy JP!! But hey buisness is buisness!
November 19, 200520 yr With Damaso Marte in this deal, I doubt the Whitesox won't try to pull one of our prospects as part of the deal. So what would our Bullpen consist of? Mota (if retained), Marte, Alfonseca (if he is for real that he would like to come back), and MAYBE I hope, Todd Jones? What prospects would the Whitesox be interested in?
November 19, 200520 yr I wonder if Beinfest was able to contain his excitement on the phone when he heard it was Rowand/Marte for JP? If this is true anyhow.
November 19, 200520 yr No way its true...would make zero sense for the Sox Kind of like trading Beckett makes zero sense to the Marlins?

November 19, 200520 yr I'm a fan of Rowand. I'd rather have him than Pierre.. better defender, stronger arm, cheaper and should be a 20/20 man... plus he's a Bears fan. I'm in favor of this trade... tho, I'm not sure why the Sox would be.

November 19, 200520 yr i love pierre, i mean who doesn't, but c'mon... Pierre for Rowand? That's flat out robbery for us! You can't say no to that. Pierre > Aguila > Rowand. you crazy :confused
November 20, 200520 yr I wonder if Beinfest was able to contain his excitement on the phone when he heard it was Rowand/Marte for JP? If this is true anyhow. :lol I bet he would of spit up his drink and giggled like a school girl when he heard that offer
