All I said was.
I think Pie will become a major league centerfielder. His bat does not at all play in left. He is going to require time to develop as a hitter in the bigs, the Cubs are not in a position to develop hitters at this time.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Right. It wasn't going to work here. If we had a World Series say in the last century or so, I might feel differently about these sort of moves. We need to win now. Pie wasn't going to help that this year, and odds are he wouldn't be next year either after rotting on our bench.

I generally agree; though I think I would have preferred to have Pie on the bench over Gathright. That's just me.

If we were paying a lot for Gathwright I would agree. But, I am afraid that a year of Pie getting limited ab's would have driven his value around the league down to nothing while he failed in a part time role.

Yeah because we got a shitload for him in return this offseason. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

In all honesty, Heilman and Williamson for Cedeno and Pie is a pretty decent return.

Exactly...
