Juan Pierre
The Chicago White Sox got the leadoff man and left fielder they needed. Juan Pierre got the chance to be an everyday player again. The White Sox acquired Pierre and $10.5 million from the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday for two players to be named.

“They already have a good team in place,” Pierre said on a conference call. “They’ve been accustomed to winning over the last four or five years. I’m looking forward to getting out there on the field on a regular basis.”
The 32-year-old Pierre hit .308 with 30 stolen bases, 57 runs and a .365 on-base percentage in 145 games with the Dodgers last year, getting steady playing time when Manny Ramirez was suspended 50 games for violating baseball’s drug policy.
