A huuuuge upgrade in the field, most definitely. But something better happen with his stick. I guess Dodgers brass is hanging their hats on the fact that he will be playing in a contract year fashion. His next pay day hangs in the balance of this here contract.

I know he had an off year last year but if you get his usual production of 100 runs, 150 hits, 30 2bs, 35 HRs 105 Rbis with .265 avg, .340 OBP and .500 slg to go along with playing 95% of the time, having extraordinary range and a rocket arm the contract is a bargin. Even though he has played a long time he is only 30 years old. And while his range may not be what it was 5 years ago it is still very good. Would you rather have 4 years of Pierre for $45 mill or 2 years of Jones at $36? The only fear I have for the Scuds people is they decide to play Pierre in left instead of the young guys who are already better than him.
