Well Gonzo is still hitting lots of doubles. Though, I'd rather give Ethier
some playing time and see if he gets his power stroke back.
Pierre has been doing much better in the outfield and he's driving folks
crazy on the bases. That puts tons of pressure on the defense. Outfielders
know they must play everything perfect or he's taking an extra base,
infielders have to rush their throws, pitchers have to throw more fastballs.
I haven't been a Pierre fan all year but he's turned it up a notch. If they
weren't going to bench him when he sucked, they aren't going to bench him
when they are doing what they brought him over to do.
