Steve Pearce is...

[Rene88]

Is awesome. Works the count, good .OBP...ideal #2 as we have said prior to his full time play as of late. He has been a godsend for this team. Keep it up Steve!

Even when he isn't hitting..he is working the pitches...getting walks...LOVE It.

This is probably unsustainable. Or maybe he has turned a corner (will probably not perform at this level even if he has turned a corner, though). I feel confident having him as a LF/DH/1B regular for next year. With Cruz gone, I'd like to see us have a legitimate LH LF bat to rotate with him whether obtained externally or internally (hank?).

That last walk tonight was not one you would ever see AJ getting. Some great takes. Davis' BB as well. 8 P only two strikes, both of which he fouled. He could of walked twice if the ump wasn't still in diapers.

...a lot of fun to watch. Enjoy the ride.

In the winning years, there were the core stars but also Steve Pearce-like contributors like Merv Rettenmund (who Pearce reminds me a bit of, though Merv was better defensively), Curt Blefary, John Loewenstein, Gary Roenicke, Kiko Garcia, etc. Winning is when all the surprises happen in one summer!

Very nice post. Thanks.

My favorite call of the night was Palmer talking about how Jones swung at ball four and before he was done, jones blasted a souvenir into the left field stands.

Raul Ibanez had only 518 plate appearances at age 28 with a .241 average. From ages 30 to 37 he hit .291 with an average of 24 hr and 97 rbi a year. He had 27 home runs before age 30 and ended his career with 303. Pearce could do something similar.. its not outside the realm of possibility.

I just love Pearce's approach right now. He knows exactly what he wants to hit, looks for it, lays off bad pitches, fouls off good pitches and his bat speed through the inside part of the zone is remarkable right now. Jayson Werth's late blooming also comes to mind.

If Pearce became that ...wow that would be awesome. Not gonna bet the house he does that but man the guy is going good.

Steve Pearce is...not starting on my fantasy team and I don't know why.

[NedFromYork]

Pearce has huge minor league statistics, in the same mold as Cust (great years with A's) and Davis, just needed someone to give him a long chance, without having to look over his shoulder.

I think John Lennon had it right....

All we are saying ......give Pearce a chance
