Pierre hot because of the grass?

I think Pierre's improved performance less to do with the grass, and more to do with the fact that the games no longer matter.

 

 

Hmm..does Juan Pierre play well in big games? Maybe the World Series? .333 BA, .481 OBP-I would call that good.

His start to this season was much worse than slow.

 

He's a one trick pony whose trick isn't that impressive and it's getting worse. What matters are a players numbers at the end of the year. If you have a great player who stinks for a month but ends up with truly great numbers, you can deal with it. But you can't have a guy who at his best has mediocre numbers, but starts out the season completely worthless. Pierre's career OPS+ is 87, he's had one year over 100. If he ended the season as a 140 OPS+ kind of guy, but played like a 80 OPS+ kind of guy early, you can live with it. But when you play like a 20 OPS+ guy for 2 months, but finish between 80-100, you are hurting the team.
