cubs dedicated easy forward good hard improving learn looking man plays plus runs time willing work
This is a plus for the Cubs to get Pierre. He's a young man who runs hard all the time and plays hard all the time. He's willing to learn and very dedicated to improving himself. It makes it easy to work with a person like that. I'm looking forward to that. He's a good young man.
