‘‘I want 25 guys like that. Maybe they hit .220 with one home run, but we are going to have a better chance to win. As a manager, I need winners. And I think Juan Pierre is one.’’
Yeah, but the same could be said about the rest of the line-up too for the most part. I realize Pierre had a lot of scoffs in the OF that lead to two Thornton blown saves as well.
However, I can admit I was wrong on Pierre. But damn it, he was just so awful.
Pierre went from being a terrible defender in the second easiest defensive position who is a terrible base stealer that was god awful at hitting to being slightly below average at hitting with all those other problems. Way to prove us wrong Ozzie.
