[QUOTE="adam71, post: 2385624, member: 549079"] I have to question your logic here a second. I want to know how Pierre is average defensively? In 6 full seasons he has 22 total errors. He has alot of speed so we know he covers alot of ground. Last year in Chicago he played in ALL 162 games and had 384 total chances in the outfield and he commited 0 errors. I fail to see how that is average.

By the way, I like Curtis alot and the Tigers so don't think of me as biased because you know I love the Tigers. But Curtis walked 66 times which is more than Pierre but he also struck out 174 times. I wouldn't exactly call that plate discipline for a leadoff hitter either. [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/stats?playerId=6125"]http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/stats?playerId=6125[/URL] Ok, so you were skeptical of Sheffield at first and now you're not?? Atleast Pierre played in ALL 162 games last year. Sheffield played in 39. So how is that a good signing when clearly isn't a durable player anymore.?? You can call Pierre average or whatever you want. Truth is he's a durable everyday player who can produce in his own way while being a quite good defensive player. You mentioned he only walked 32 times last year, but you failed to mention he had 204 hits which was tops in the NL and 5th in all the Major leagues. Sorry but your logic is flawed. [/QUOTE]
