SINCE MANNY RAMIREZ'S SUSPENSION, Juan Pierre has shown us how good a player he can be when he's on top of his game—getting on base, slashing the ball, stealing bases and scoring runs. Some people think there is no place in baseball for a speedy outfielder who slashes and dashes, sports a low on-base percentage and has a subpar arm, which is all the more amazing how Pierre was able to play every single game for five straight seasons ('03-07). But long before Juan Pierre's arrival there was a guy by the name of Willie Wilson who played 19 seasons in the big leagues. Yes, how soon we forget. Good to see No. 9 running out there again.
