Buzz: Pierre Could Be Headed out of LA
Dylan Hernandez in today’s Los Angeles times believes that the Dodgers will try and trade outfielder Juan Pierre now that Manny Ramirez has decided not to opt out of the final year of his contract.
…the Dodgers didn’t miss a beat with Ramirez suspended and Pierre in his spot…the thought on Pierre is that his skills are diminishing but he did steal 30 bases this season and he hardly strikes out which tells me that he can still be a great leadoff hitter…however he doesn’t walk that much and his average is strikingly close to his on base percentage, but that has been the knock on Jose Reyes as well…
…i just don’t think Pierre should be considered as a solution in the outfield for the Mets…he is fast and can be a catalyst, but the Mets need power and a greater ability to get on base than what he can provide…
