Pierre is an upgrade over the previous occupant in LF
I do not agree. Pods was better with the bat, had just as much speed and even getting picked off as much as he did is about equal to the number of times Pierre has been caught stealing already this year, and Pods was not that much worse in left field than Pierre. All in all, I don't see how Pierre has been an upgrade.
And to me, there seemed to be a spark with Pods in the lineup. I don't see that with JP.
