Player Notes
October 17, 2008

October 16, 2008
Dodgers outfielder Juan Pierre has requested that the team trade him to a club where he will see more playing time, according to MLB.com. "He has no hard feelings toward anybody. But his preference would be a trade to a team with more playing time than he currently gets. He'll drop any no-trade clause he has to make that happen. Maybe there's a better fit," said Pierre's agent, Mark Pieper.

The Los Angeles Times confirms that Juan Pierre remained in town on Sunday night and will undergo an MRI on his left knee. The team traveled to Houston, but Pierre won't join them until the results are known.

Pierre added his 23rd stolen bases of the season as well as one run scored.
June 4, 2008

May 26, 2008
Juan Pierre went 2-for-4 and recorded the lone Dodgers run-batted-in on Monday. Pierre was the odd man out when the team signed free agent Andruw Jones (knee) this past offseason.
May 21, 2008
The Dodgers relied heavily on pitching to get the job done in their 4-1 win over the Cincinnati Reds, but leadoff man outfielder Juan Pierre may be worthy of note as the team's offensive force of reckoning. Pierre went 1-for-4 with a single, driving in one RBI with one run scored and one stolen base (his 18th of the season).
May 18, 2008
Juan Pierre had a hit, a run and a SB from his customary leadoff spot for the Dodgers on Sunday.
May 14, 2008
It wasn't pretty, but the Dodgers scored three in the top of the ninth to emerge victorious over the Milwaukee Brewers 6-4.

April 9, 2008
Juan Pierre is back in the starting lineup at left field for today's game against Arizona, according to the LA Daily News. Matt Kemp will replace Andruw Jones in center field, and Andre Ethier will handle right field. Pierre is only hitting .067 over 15 at-bats, so Manager Torre is batting him eighth in the order.
April 7, 2008
Juan Pierre had another rough night on Monday as he went 0-for-4 to drop his average to .067 in 15 AB this season. Joe Torre keeps trying to give Pierre the chance to hit his way out of his current slump, but it's just not happening as it's clear to all that Pierre is pressing. If we had to guess we would look for Matt Kemp to get back in the lineup here the next couple of days.
April 7, 2008
Juan Pierre is making his third straight start over Matt Kemp on Monday, this according to the Los Angeles Daily News. Pierre is batting eighth in the order limiting his runs scored potential, but he can run just as easily from that spot as at the top of the order. As for Matt Kemp owners this is extremely distressing news as he now appears to be behind both Pierre and Andre Ethier for playing time in the Dodgers outfield.
April 5, 2008
Juan Pierre started in left field and batted seventh as the Dodgers had Matt Kemp on the bench because of his struggles, this according to MLB.com. "Kemp's struggling," manager Joe Torre said. "The game speeds up and he's just impatient. He's an intelligent kid...He'll play most of the time. I didn't think Jake Peavy was a good matchup for him." Kemp, who is only 2-for-15 on the year, still managed to receive praise from his manager even while being benched. Given that Pierre went 0-for-3 with a strikeout against Peavy, he certainly didn't do anything to force the Dodgers hand.
April 1, 2008
Juan Pierre started in left field and hit seventh for the Dodgers Tuesday. Andre Ethier played right field and Matt Kemp was on the bench. Manager Joe Torre said that Pierre was going to be a "regular bench player," but it's looking like he will still get his fair share of starts.
March 30, 2008
Juan Pierre is going to ride the pine on opening day, according to InsideLocal.com. Andre Ethier has won the starting job in LF and Joe Torre stated, "Pierre is disappointed. You don't want a guy sitting on your bench who just accepts being on the bench. JP will be a regular bench player, pinch hitting, etc. Before it's all said and done, we're going to get contributions from a lot of people." Pierre will obviously plummet down draft boards with today's news, but could regain his job at some point if Ethier struggles.
March 23, 2008
Juan Pierre, fighting Andre Ethier for the starting job in left field, went hitless in four at-bats. Pierre is now hitting .188 on the spring while Ethier checks in with a solid .344. Pierre owners must come to grips with the fact that the light hitting, poor defensive speedster, won't see but 400 at-bats this year, at best.
March 21, 2008
Juan Pierre met with manager Joe Torre to discuss his standing in the Dodgers outfield, this according to MLB.com. "I asked him to be patient with me," Torre said. "When we got Andruw [Jones], nobody talked to him. I wanted to go out of my way to let him know what my thinking was." It appears that the team is uncertain whether it will lean toward Pierre or Andre Either in LF at the start of the season which means that Pierre has become a huge fantasy question mark. He hasn't done anything wrong and continues to be a .290 hitting 50+ SB threat, but with no power and poor defensive skills, his days as a starter in LA may be at an end.
March 13, 2008
Juan Pierre walked three times in three plate appearances on Wednesday, and stole two bases against the Reds pitching staff. The supposed battle in left field between Pierre and Andre Ethier (who homered for the third time this spring) has been intriguing, and diminished Pierre's fantasy value, but all indications point to the veteran speedster winning the job. Look for Pierre to be the club’s opening day leadoff-hitting left-fielder.
March 6, 2008
Juan Pierre had two hits and stole his fourth base of the preseason for the Dodgers on Thursday. Pierre is playing like his job is on the line, and since it is, his work thus far is proving to Joe Torre that he isn't ready to be a backup OF just yet.
March 4, 2008
The A's have shot down a rumor that they may be interested in trading for Juan Pierre, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. This is not surprising given that the rumor made very little sense.
March 4, 2008
The A's have apparently reached out to the Dodgers about a possible trade for Juan Pierre, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Pierre is competing with Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier for a staring job in LA. This really doesn't make sense. The A's are in rebuilding mode and would be silly to take on Pierre's contract unless the Dodgers were willing to pick up a big portion of it. Pierre isn't a Billy Beane-type player, either, with his refusal to draw walks. We're betting that there's not much substance here.
February 19, 2008
Juan Pierre says he wants to remain in LA, but he also hinted that he would be fine with waiving his no-trade clause if it appears that he wouldn't be starting, according to the LA Times. "I know I'm going to go out to try to bust my tail to make myself better as well as the team," Pierre said. "At the end of the day, hopefully, they could see that I could benefit the team. And, if not, it's one of those situations where they might get rid of me or something." Pierre will compete with Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier for a staring job.
February 18, 2008
Juan Pierre is OK with moving to LF with Andruw Jones now in the fold, but he is not OK about possibly losing his starting gig according to a report on MLB.com. "I'm no dummy. He's won 10 Gold Gloves and they got him to play center field and I have no choice but to move and do the best job I can...All I can do is play hard. I'm close to Kemp and Ethier. There's no rift with any of them. I wish everybody the best. At the end of the day, we have to see a benefit to the team." At this point we just don't know how the playing time will be dished out, but given the fact that Pierre has no power, he needs all the AB he can generate in order to up his run scored and SB totals. Stay tuned.
February 14, 2008
Juan Pierre, who showed up early to Dodgers Spring Training, declined to discuss his starting status in left field with the national media. The LA Daily News reports that "Torre said hello to Pierre but didn't address the left field matter with him beyond what the two discussed over the telephone this winter." It looks more and more like Pierre will compete with Andre Ethier for the starting gig. The report noted that Torre admits he prefers veteran players. Currently, most media outlets list Pierre as the team's starter, but the popular fantasy option must lock down the everyday job if owners are to depend on the speedy outfielder for his stolen base contribution.
