May 1 was not only the relatively random start of a month, but really was the start of his playing every day. Picking the time when he switched to lead-off has some value, but it should be somewhat meaningless unless he really is a worse hitter as a lead off hitter.<BR/><BR/>Which he may very well be. He certainly has shown he has stopped taking walks. I am strongly considering making the next post my yearly rant about how terrible a lead-off hitter Juan Pierre is (He can't bunt. Seriously, he is not good at it), but that will have to wait until after the holidays...jimbilly4https://www.blogger.com/profile/10488184670253746128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937814114396988859.post-89277173365095085992008-07-01T11:15:00.000-07:002008-07-01T11:15:00.000-07:00Juan took over the lead off spot on May 6th.

Since Juan has batted lead off starting May 6th, his numbers are <BR/><BR/>261 BA<BR/>299 OBP<BR/>295 SLG<BR/><BR/>That's promising.<BR/><BR/> http://www.baseball-reference.com/pi/gl.cgi?n1=pierrju01&t=b&year=2008Dusto_Magnificohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12802504342465570442noreply@blogger.com
