Juan Pierre rumor has little substance

Gonzales:

The Sox have talked to the Dodgers about leadoff batter Juan Pierre, but a source said those talks have little substance at this time.

Pierre batted .308 with 30 stolen bases and a .365 on-base percentage in 2009. But he will earn $18.5 million over the next two years, and the Sox would have to clear a large salary to afford him.
