Should Dodgers Trade Juan Pierre?

Eli Greenspan by Senior Analyst Written on June 10, 2009
LOS ANGELES, CA - JUNE 06:  Juan Pierre #9 of the Los Angeles Dodgers runs back to the dugout against the Philadelphia Phillies at Dodger Stadium on June 6, 2009 in Los Angeles, California.

Dodgers outfielder Juan Pierre has stepped up big time since Manny Ramirez was suspended, hitting .352 with 28 runs scored, 13 stolen bases, and a .412 on-base percentage.
Pierre has three years and $28.5 million left on his contract, and has a limited no-trade clause. 
While I think the Dodgers should trade Pierre, mostly because of the prospects they could net, it may not be worth it to eat a large portion of his salary.
Pierre is a great fourth outfielder and gives you a speed off the bench. He can bunt almost on command and gives pitchers headaches when he reaches base. 
If you were Ned Colletti, would you trade Juan Pierre?
