Fun HBT Article on Juan Pierre ("Empty .300")

[Roast]

Geoff Young over at the Hardball Times posted an article today called "Yes, but it's an empty .300" regarding some of the emptiest batting averages in MLB history. Pretty interesting read overall, but scroll down to the bottom and take a peek at the lifetime achievement award section. Here's an excerpt:

 

Speaking of Pierre, he is a remarkable player. In the history of baseball, he is the only man ever to log at least 3,000 plate appearances, a .300 career batting average, and an OPS+ of 90 or lower. As of this writing, Pierre has 6035 PA, a .301 BA, and an 85 OPS+.
