Juan Pierre

Juan Pierre is currently filling in for Manny Ramirez out in LA.

So far this season he has done an admirable job so far, hitting .419 in 74 at-bats with 12 RBIs. Now, those are nowhere near Manny numbers (.348 in 92 at bats with 6 HRs and 20 RBIs). Comparatively, Pierre has one RBI every 6.17 at bats. Manny, at the time of his suspension, has one RBI every 4.6 at-bats.

This is immensely good news for the Dodgers, as it gives them outfield depth with Pierre. Additionally, he can be a trade candidate when Manny comes back late June early July. Oakland and Atlanta are two possible destinations for the 31 year old outfielder, who will turn 32 in August.

Atlanta- The Braves outfield is in shambles. Jeff Francoeur's new swing has not helped his approach, and Jordan Schafer looks like he could still use some seasoning in the minors. The Braves are only 2.5 out right now, and if the NL East doesn't improve, it looks like the Braves could be contenders come July. Don't be surprised if the Braves give up some pitching depth in return for the speedy outfielder.

Oakland- Matt Holiday is lacking power in Oakland, and is already a trade-deadline candidate as it is. Billy Beane loves moneyball, and could give up Holliday in return for Pierre and some Dodgers prospects. This would be a "win now" move for the Dodgers, and give Billy Beane even more proof that while moneyball gives him a low salary cap, it still doesn't give him that all important World Series ring.
