really? i thought his production might get a bump from lee. though at this point, any production is a bump up.
i don't think a guy like pierre is going to be much affected by who bats behind him. some? sure, but not much. for the entire time Lee has been out, the 2-3-4 spots have often had 300-hitters and/or people to fear in general. Pierre's failure is more a product of Wrigley than not have Lee.
Pierre's value is taking a nose dive when Lee went down and ARAM went frigid. His value is entirely in his stolen bases and run scores. His average is nice too but if you're complaining about HR and Ribbies....
...have you looked at his career numbers?

They are complaining more of the lack of HR and RBI on top of the low batting average and his runs scored arent exactly what they expected either.

yea, I'm not complaining about his lack of hrs and rbi's, obviously we know that we are going to get little of both. I am complaining about a low average on top of that, which means that he is producing in 2 categories. And, on top off all of that, he only has 29 runs scored because of his 282 OBP. Yea getting Lee back will help, but if he isn't getting on base, how much will it really help.
and just wait until he tweaks a hammy or something, he would officially become the most usless player in the MLB.
He's still on pace to score 80 R, despite the fact his AVG is way below his career AVG.
He may not be the .300 hitter we loved anymore, but it isnt a stretch to say he can hit like the .276 hitter he was last year. With him bound to improve (can you honestly go down from here?) A-Ram being in the same situation, and Lee's return, I still see him scoring 100 R with 50 SB. But the average wont be as kind as it used to be.
