Yay! Joe Torre Still Has Some Sense Left...

Dodgers manager Joe Torre indicated yesterday that Juan Pierre will be his fourth outfielder when Manny Ramirez returns from his "injury". Recently there have been rumblings to the contrary. Pierre is coming down to earth and Ethier is regaining his stroke so there is no other way. Even if Ethier contined to struggle the choice would be obvious because he is still a much better player than Pierre (what with Pierre's .722 career OPS and all). It's funny how some people don't understand the concept of regressing to the mean. Pierre was extremely hot. It was not going to last. And he is on his way to being Juan Pierre again. He is 32 years old, did people really think he was going to have a career year? Well sanity wins out in this case..
