Pierre is an excellent pickup and a great lead off hitter. I understand Walker is probably a slightly better hitter, but speed means a lot in a leadoff hitter, even if they don't steal bases. With Walker batting #1, it would clog up the bases. He would be a good #2, or even Matt Murton could serve as a #2 (pretty good speed, patient, fundamentally sound, contact hitter). I feel like we're already a better team than we were last year, and with Bradley in RF we'll be better.
