Huzzah!! Pierre's OBP = .301!!

[RockTheIvy]

Juan Pierre's OBP is now .301, making him better than the OBP of Cubs' leadoff hitters last year (.299). It's been a long time coming, but it looks like that trade is finally paying off. Florida, hahaha, boy did they get fleeced! Edited June 30, 2006 by RockTheIvy

You are my new favorite person. :lol:

Big question: If he raises the year average OBP to .390, do you re-sign him on the cheap?

If he raises his OBP to .390 for the season, do you re-sign him for a cheap amount? I guess that's what he means.

[RegulusBlue]

I don't think its really feasible that he gets his OBP up to .390 after nearly 80 games of .301. If he does this, then we offer him arbitration and enjoy our draft pick, but that is assuming that he isn't gone at the ASB, which I think he is.

Pierre needs to put up an OBP upwards of .480 if he wants to get to .390 by the end of the year. It's like asking what would happen if Barrett breaks Bonds' home run record this year.

He could do it ya know....

If Barrett broke Bonds' record, we'd have to think seriously about re-signing him, but we'd have to weight the benefit of the 73+ homeruns against his defense which easily costs us 22 games each season.

Pierre is going to be a better player the 2nd half. I attributed his bad play the first half to letting Lee's going down get to his head. He really is a better player than he has shown. .

 

That said, I think he could go on a tear and get his average up to .340'ish. . I wouldn't mind him resigned so much if we get Carlos Lee in left and Zito as SP.

first and formost, that's a very out there explanation for Slappy's pisspoor performance, secondly, even if he put up the numbers you suggested, there's always the chance that resigning him could blow up in our face, like say the trade for him has so far?

He'd have more federal investigators on his @ss wanting to know what he's on that Bonds has right now.

And your explaination would be? There's ALOT of things that could "blow up in our face" this offseason. Like, Resigning Baker and his Coaching staff, continuing to rely on wood and prior, not signing atleast 1 impact bat and 1 stellar SP. And I think, if Pierre proves himself, I wouldn't mind keeping him as a lead-off hitter. I'll go out on the limb and declare that now.
