Stop nitpicking. The key is always putting the ball in play. Juan Pierre just hit very weakly. When DLee puts "a ball in play", that is much different than a "pierre ball" put into play. . Putting the ball in play for the sake of putting the ball in play is never a good thing, no matter if it's Pierre, Derrek Lee, or Barry Bonds. Therefore, putting the ball in play should never be anyone's "key" to anything. Fortunately, I don't think Perry said any such thing nor do I think he believes any such thing. Yeah I guess you're right about that. However my point is why nitpick every little thing some guy (or carrie muskat interpreted) said? Gerald Perry is gonna be good. Because he has improved teams dramatically in the past. Don't worry about nitpicking a silly sentence because he didn't (or she didn't) say it exactly how you wanted him to say it. Sheesh. We nitpick around here too much. And Yes I realize I'm NITPICKING about that. :lol:
