The Los Angeles Dodgers announced today that they have signed outfielder Juan Pierre to a five-year contract through 2011, according to Dodger General Manager Ned Colletti. “Juan’s ability to hit combined with his speed make him a perfect catalyst for our lineup,” said Colletti. “His work ethic and character are second-to-none and he knows what it takes to win. He’s dedicated to the community and I truly believe the city of Los Angeles is going to love this player.” Pierre, 29, led the National League in hits last season with 204 and has finished in the Top 3 in that category while topping the 200-hit plateau in four of the last five seasons. Since 2001, he has registered 1,182 hits, the second-most in baseball behind Seattle’s Ichiro Suzuki. The deal is for 5 years and $44 million
