Steve Pearce Appreciation Thread

[weams]

The bobble-heads were a dead giveaway. One of my Dad's favorites.

His time with the O's will be just a footnote, but he was a tremendous role player for the 2014 team. A grinder and manager's pet. Loved having him here. Best of luck to him.

Steve was interviewed after they clinched in 2014. The man had tears as he described his emotions...made references to his underdog career... it was raw and really cool.

Sure wish he had shown-up in the playoff run, but he's one of the reasons they were AL East Champs.

Good guy, would love to have seen him come back for one more season.

I'm very disappointed that it didn't work out that we could keep him. He was one of my favorite players, especially during his incredible 2014. I think DD anticipated he would get a multi-year contract and felt that we'd be better off keeping Reimold instead. Now I'd much rather have Pearce. Best of luck Steve, I hope you continue to hit the snot out of the ball against every team in the AL East (except for us!).

A key piece to our 2014 team, and a good team guy. He was surprisingly decent when we used him at 2B last year. I wish him the best any time he plays New York, Boston, or Toronto.

Will miss his swing when he hits a homer. Had some good games for us. Good Luck in Tampa

I'd take Guyer for selfish reasons. We went to the same elementary, middle, and high schools. He was a year ahead. I even played against him in baseball and basketball.

Good luck to Steve though. He worked hard and always had a good attitude.

Yeah class of 05. Year younger than Brandon, year ahead of Scottie Reynolds.

Enjoyed his success with the O's very much. Easy to root for Pierce. I hope he does well in Tampa, except when they play the O's.

Steve Pearce, owner of the most out-of-nowhere age 31 seasons in baseball history. I'll have to run some queries, but there can't be many players with a ~5 win season on their resume and a career worth less than six wins. By fWAR Pearce's 2014 was 88% of his career value.

[ArtVanDelay]

Love me some Steve Pearce. Best of luck to him in TB (except against us).

Good for Steve. I hope he gets a minimum 400 AB with TB and rediscovers the 2014 magic.
