Juan Pierre does suck at baseball. He deserves to bat ninth, but so do a lot of other guys.
I guess we could lead off Rios or Beckham.
Rios is hitting .201 with 10 RBIs. Awful.
Gordon is hitting .222 with 13 RBIs. Awful.
Adam Dunn, who is making so much money it is incomprehensible, is hitting .210 with a grand total of four home runs. He has a whopping 16 RBIs.
AJ is hitting a stellar .246 with one home run and 12 RBIs and six whopping runs scored. Whoopie.
Those are four guys who start for us and totally suck as well.
Everyone else you mentioned brings at least one thing to the table whether it's good defense, higher OBP, or power. Juan literally offers nothing at all. Why don't you understand that?
And at his age it's not like he's going to become faster and start stealing more bases or develop a stronger arm to throw guys out.
