Since its June 1st and the season is about 1/3 of the way over, I decided to check in on old friend and (blog namesake) Juan Pierre and see how his May went after his terrible April start.

He did hit .286 and collected 6 extra base hits (all doubles) in May after getting exactly 0 extra base hits in April. However, he's still hitting an abysmal .245 with a .579 OPS. That's terrible. At least, Beast Mode is on pace to steal 61 bases, so he's got that going for him, which is nice.

Considering that the Juan Pierre trade not only gave us St. Ely, but also future useful Joe Torre overworked reliever Jon Link, I'm going to have to give Ned Colletti the 1st round TKO over Ken Williams at this point in the season. Nicely done, Ned!
