Glenn: I feel like sending this email to the Cubs' General Manager... ___________________________________________________________ Jim Hendry: This is the type of lead-off hitter the Cubs need... Tigers' Granderson could have stayed at home, but was overlooked BY PHIL ROGERS miami.com Tigers lead-off hitter: #28 Curtis Granderson \| CF Born: March 16, 1981 Blue Island, IL 2006 Salary: $335,000 Experience: 2 years AVG .285 \| HR 9 \| RBI 28 \| OBP .386 \| SLG .491 sports.espn.go.com Cubs lead-off hitter: #9 Juan Pierre \| CF Born: August 14, 1977 Mobile, AL 2006 Salary: $5,750,000 Experience: 6 years AVG .240 \| HR 0 \| RBI 5 \| OBP .287 \| SLG .306 sports.espn.go.com Jim Hendry: You OVERpaid for a marquee player but who is getting the best return on investment??...Dombrowski is one of the best GM's in MLB and I think you know that...The bottom line is every successful team needs a lead-off hitter who is very productive...Juan Pierre is a great guy and is a hard worker BUT he's not getting on base enough and he just doesn't have much power or the ability to get those crucial timely hits. It doesn't matter whether you're spending a few hundred thousand or close to $6 Million BUT the lead-off hitter has to deliver for the team...Is it a problem with your scouts or have your coaches turned Juan Pierre into a chronic under-performer...? Just Wondering.
