Juan Pierre having a bad year at the plate

Submitted by cubsnet on Tue, 2007-05-29 20:39

It's a good thing the Cubs didn't resign Juan Pierre. Baseball Prospectus's Marc Normandin discusses how bad Pierre has been at the plate this season:

Quote:
Pierre is hitting .274/.307/.307 on the season, a 614 OPS. To put that into perspective, there are five players with slugging percentages higher than Pierre’s OPS. His Isolated Power figure of .033 is the 37th worst with at least 225 plate appearances in the past twenty-five seasons.
Normandin notes that Pierre is hitting way too many fly balls.
