With Pierre being a bust so far I have few things on my mind.
With him not leading off which was clearly the reason why he was brought here in a first place, you have to ask yourself what does he bring to this ballclub?
His defense is mediocre out there, no arm whatsoever.
Question number 1: If Pierre is not batting leadoff would you want him out of the lineup and have Kotsay play LF and bat 9th? Kotsay, Rios, Jones, Q at DH, or you can rotate all these guys between these spots.
Question number 2: With Sox still needing a big left handed bat, now that Pierre is failing do you see Sox trading for let's say Adam Dunn? He can play LF and brings the bat to the lineup.
Conclusion if Pierre can't leadoff he is pretty much useless for this club and hurts you more than he helps.
Prove me wrong.
