From Rotoworld:
ESPN.com is reporting that the Dodgers and outfielder Juan Pierre have agreed to a five-year, $45 million contract.
We'd take Alfonso Soriano at $17 million per year first. The Dodgers likely could have re-signed Kenny Lofton for $3 million or so and gotten 90 percent of Pierre at a third of the price for 2007. Pierre's durability is nice and his defensive statistics have improved through the years, but he's had OBPs of .326 and .330 the last two years -- compared to .392 and .360 for Lofton -- and he certainly doesn't make up for it with power. He can only get slower as he ages, so he could be quite a liability come 2010 and 2011. Until then, he'll be little more than an average regular.
HOLY SHIT
9 MILLION PER
FOR SOMEONE WHO IS NOT GOOD
UNTIL 2011
WHAAAAAAAT
I am astonished and can no longer be a Dodgers supporter.
