It's a little narrow to judge a player's body of work by one incident, but when Bobby Cox yanked him out of the game in the middle of an inning for not hustling, it kind of stuck with me

different topic...Chisox reportedly jonesing for Pierre..assume you wouldn't have an issue with him leaving?

He is 30 years old. If he plays 8 more years (conservatively) he will wind up with 550+ HR's, 1750 RBi's, 3000 hits, etc to go along with 10+ gold gloves. Easy call unless he really slumps badly. It is easy to forget how young this guy is considering how long he has played. It would be hard to find a CF who had his fielding skills and hit with the power he does. Griffey, Mantle, Mays and not many more. With just average seasons for the next 3 or 4 years he will have better numbers than Duke Snider who played his peak years in a bandbox(Ebbets field) and Kirby Puckett(who played in the homedome). His batting average isnt as good as those 2 but his power numbers are greater and his is a better fielder than either was.

Scuds..I kid you not...papers today have Williams looking at Pierre for leadoff. That's what losing out on Hunter and Cabrera will do to a team

Ken Williams cant be that dumb. As bad as he is in the NL he will be a total disaster in the AL.
