More comments on the fact that Juan Pierre sucks

Rob Neyer devoted yet another blog entry to the simple fact that Juan Pierre sucks and (even more relevantly) that we have better players who we can (and should!) put in the everyday lineup instead of him. Amen, brother!

By the way, today was Opening Day of the baseball season (the earliest it's ever occurred). The Red Sox and Athletics played a game in Japan this morning---I watched about an 75 minutes of it before I needed to go to a meeting---and play another one tomorrow. Meanwhile, other teams are still playing exhibition games. In fact, the Red Sox and Athletics will go back to playing a couple of additional exhibition games before the regular season starts in earnest (with every team playing games that count). This is, naturally, an artifact of playing two regular season games in Japan. (I very much support the idea of playing some regular season games in other countries. I think it is excellent to do that.)
