The one who ended up signing with the Dodgers. They were supposed to be the 1-2 pinch the cubs were missing since Dernier/Sandberg. Once McFail fucked that deal up (and it was Mcfail, not Hendry). we were stuck with just Pierre. He go off to a terrible start, and all Cub fans being racists, it didn't sit well.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The only nuance that I would insert was the Pierre trade was an act of desperation by the Cubs after Furcal signed with the Dodgers.
Marlins could sense that Cubs wanted to make the move badly. Cubs gave up too much to get Pierre and he underperformed in the early part of the season.
