April 23, 200420 yr I'm watching Baseball Tonight right now and they said Juan Pierre is without a doubt the best leadoff batter in the league . RESPECT :lol :lol :lol :lol yeah right watch out for pierre and his monster .306 OBP as a leadoff guy, he sucks. he can't even get one walk every ten at bats
April 23, 200420 yr its not all about obp ALL THE FREAKIN TIME watch a damn game, dont just look at numbers 24/7
April 23, 200420 yr its not all about obp ALL THE FREAKIN TIME watch a damn game, dont just look at numbers 24/7 for leadoff guys, only two stats matter: OBP Walk/ AB ratio
April 23, 200420 yr its not all about obp ALL THE FREAKIN TIME watch a damn game, dont just look at numbers 24/7 for leadoff guys, only two stats matter: OBP Walk/ AB ratio uh hello, speed? # of walks is totally useless JP's obp was .361 last year with 65 SB's. that's pretty badass, and it doesnt even tell you about his baserunning when 2-3-4 get hits. don't hate... JP 0wns.

JP 0wns. he got caught stealing 20 times. High walks, low strikeouts, and power. That's all that matters
April 23, 200420 yr High walks, low strikeouts, and power. That's all that matters That's right. Believe that...

The only objective way to look at it is to look at the numbers And Juan Pierre is a below average player. Last year his OPS was .734, and his lifetime is .725. 'nuf said one thing i'll give him is he doesn't strike out much
April 23, 200420 yr High walks, low strikeouts, and power. That's all that matters for a leadoff guy? walks are completely, utterly useless for a leadoff guy. low strikeouts? JP had the lowest strikeout pct in all of baseball. power? for a leadoff guy? for what?
April 23, 200420 yr Juan Pierre is below average now? the only thing below average about him is his homerun power :lol but believe what you want, believe that JP does not make this team go round believe it..... keep looking at those numbers and thinking some other guy is better you are just fooling yourself

April 23, 200420 yr Mays660 thinks all leadoff men should be like Brady Anderson I guess no, but brady anderson would make a better leadoff guy than Juan Pierre. he has a higher career OBP and draws more walks, all that matters for a leadoff guy

April 23, 200420 yr Can someone pull our team OPS last year? I'm sure it wasn't the best in baseball. What about team ERA? Maybe 10th in the MLs? I guess we won a championship doing little, disruptive things, as every analyst, player and coach agreed upon. Who is considered the unquestioned master of these things? J "Motha-Effin" P
April 23, 200420 yr Please. Walks don't mean anything. Are you telling me that if two players had nearly identical OBPs last year the player with more walks is better? Isn't that just crediting a player twice for a walk and penalizing a player whose additional hits drive in runs? For some reason I believe if pitchers didn't inflate Barry Bonds' walk totals by always intentionally walking him and pitching to the career .297 hitter that this shmuck wouldn't be so interested in walks. P.S. Pitches per plate appearance >>> Walks
April 23, 200420 yr this stat says it all last year when JP got on base twice a game the Marlins played .750 ball when he got on once they played .600 ball when he didnt get on base the Marlins played .400 ball that says a whole lot about JPs importance to the Marlins is he the prototypical leadoff hitter? in some ways yes in some ways no HOWEVER what JP does cause with his speed is he gives the hitters hitting after him the opportunity to see more fastballs JP's style as a leadoff hitter may not be for every team. But to the Marlins he is their MVP and thats all that matters to us
