His plate discipline leaves a LOT to be desired. You realize he has just 6 RBIs this year batting from the #2, 3 and 6 spits in the lineup? Wayne has been trying to have him model his offensive game from Juan Pierre, but he doesn't appear to want to do that.
Hmmm, not the guy I would have chosen to model a player after. Juan Pierre was in the top-3 in MLB for outs made 7 times, every year from 2003-2011 except for 2008 & 2009, when he didn't have a full-season worth of at-bats. Juan Pierre rarely walks and hit the ball with such little authority that he typically had unimpressive BABIP's, despite his speed.
Please no Juan Pierre....he sucked. I would say he would want to be more like Kirby Puckett. Now he just needs to eat his way to that....
