Juan Pierre update

[inari]

There aren't many players I dislike enough to do a thread like this, but JP is definitely one of them; he's currently hitting .187/.260/.187 with a .224 wOBA. That's right. Not a single extra base hit yet. He's stealing bases at a 75% clip so that's ok. But, he's lost his leadoff job and now bats 9th in the White Sox lineup.

 

Hilarious.

[sneakypower]

.195 babip right now vs. .315 career

 

he's still a good bet to hit near .300 the rest of the way

[inari]

And a good bet to hit a very empty .300.

I don't care about stats; I just want to know how dirty your jersey is.

I don't dislike Pierre. He seems likeable, in fact. I dislike that there are a lot of people who don't know how to properly evaluate talent.

Unnecessarily sliding into 1B should do the trick!

Speed doesn't slump.

i always thought he seemed like a douchebag who thought he was way better than he is

[chasinf5s]

i thought he was completely obnoxious since he wore those stupid camo undershirts. I am so glad MLB told him this isn't the ghetto.

[bhogg]

I was talking to Eric Reed, former FLA prospect / outfielder, and he said the worst thing people did was compare him to Pierre.

I once saw Pierre accidentally hit a young child in the head with an errant throw into the field level seats (while playing catch during batting practice). Not only was the kid not hurt, there wasn't any sign of a bump or a bruise.

Reverse Bill Brasky?

he got that wiggly feel

He had to have been standing in foul territory to make it into the field level seats.

He was standing by second base, IIRC.

The ghetto?

I don't hate Pierre. He showed up early and left late everyday. He worked hard to get where he is, from everything I have read.

 

I do hate Hendry for trading for him, however.

[champaignchris]

Anyone else notice that our starting shortstop is having a positively Juan Pierre-esque season so far.

[BigbadB1679666149]

Definitely exceeding my expectations right now.

It's not like Nolasco has been anything special for the Marlins.

 

:wink:

If you've never seen this, you have now.

Look it sucked that we gave him away, but he hasn't been that great that we need to still bemoan losing him.

Yep. It was a bad trade, but he hasn't been "special"
