White Sox leadoff earned Hitter / outfielder Juan Pierre from the Dodgers in a few Minor Leaguers, and ends career Scott Podsednik is on the south side.

Pierre, 32-year-old former Cubs center fielder, is owed 18.5 million U.S. dollars in the next two years, but the Dodgers will pay 10.5 million U.S. dollars, according to sources. Sox will pay 3 million U.S. dollars in the next season and 5 million U.S. dollars in 2011.

Bench relegated to the position last spring, Pierre filled in for suspended and Manny Ramírez hit, 308 in 145 games. He also stole 30 bases in 42 attempts.

Last season return to the Sox, hit Podsedník, 304 with 30 stolen bases in 43 attempts. Podsedník developed interest from several teams, which will be Cubs.

Pierre can play either left field, it is for cheaters, or center, where he was for the Cubs. In all likelihood, the Sox went with Alex Rios in center and Carlos Quentin to right field. Andruw Jones and Mark Kotsay is also a man outfield.
Jon Paul Moros reports that the White Sox are giving up the right-handers John Ely and Jon Link to get Juan Pierre from the Dodgers. Not "throw in''type guys, especially Ely, product Homewood-Flossmoor High in 14.2 Double-A Birmingham last season.

If this is true, give Dodgers GM Ned Colletti to obtain a real return of loans Pierre, who often looks like a fourth outfielder surplus in the first three five-year $ 45-mil. deal with Los Angeles.

I could not immediately confirm the White Sox and Ely Link two minor-Leaguers will deal with the Dodgers. It will not be a shock, if not, is considered high radar in GM Ken Williams'. But it would be an embarrassment for the White Sox Ely never lose, if I could make a success in high school, Ohio University and then minor league translate into big league. He is a very good bowler, but lacks the high profile tool that makes it the top prospect.
