alffan:I like guys like Juan Pierre offensively.
I'm not really trying to be a dick, but then you really don't understand how to score runs.
alffan: Good BA (over .320),
He's a .301 hitter for his career - and only a .348 career OBP.
alffan: and basically when he does, he's automatically on 2nd because he can run
Not at all. Between walks, HBP, and singles, he's been at first approximately 1700 times in his career (and that doesn't include ROE or FC). He has 451 SBs. He's been caught 150 times. 75% is hardly automatic for SB%, and only getting to second under 25% of the times you're on first is basically the opposite of automatic. I'll take someone who actually hits doubles.
alffan: No speed and an average under .250 - even if they hit 30 HR's - isn't worth it to me.
What OFs do the Brewers have with no speed and hit under .250?
Ask any GM in baseball who they would rather have: Mike Cameron or Juan Piere, and the answer will be unanimous.
