You can score a run or advance a baserunner on a ground out or a fly
out. Neither of these things happen with a strikeout

Not from what I've seen. Again I'm not saying that either is a
defensive wizard .I am saying that they are at least equal and from
what I have seen Pierre goes back on the ball much better than Pods (
altho that wouldn't take much)


And Pierre can't throw worth a damn.
Neither can Pods

And I'm still saying that paying less than 24% on a dollar for what
your willing to pay for the same product is a bad choice.

You aren't . Pierre hits better , bunts better, runs the bases better
is better in the field, and strikes out less

Is Pods even batting lead-off now? I have seen him second in line-ups
lately.
