Marlins97+03WC Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 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.

JonDigital Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 i would say this is a nice upgrade. wasn't Rowand very close to winning the gold glove this year in CF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlins97+03WC Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 "Is it Roward for Pierre straight up?"Â Maybe even more. It might include Marte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Punisher Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish4Life Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Rowand and Marte for JP, I'll do it in a sec! All though I love my boy JP!! But hey buisness is buisness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Punisher Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iowa Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 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. Â I'm in favor of this trade... tho, I'm not sure why the Sox would be.
