Juan Pierre Clears Waivers

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | August 31, 2012 at 11:30am CDT

Phillies outfielder Juan Pierre has cleared waivers, Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports reports (on Twitter). If the Phillies trade Pierre before midnight, he'll be eligible to play in the postseason.

Pierre, 35, has hit .300/.343/.363 with 32 steals in 37 attempts for the Philadelphia this year. He's owed approximately $160K the rest of the season, so his salary shouldn't be much of a factor in any trade. The Orioles, Reds, and other teams expressed interest in Pierre before the trade deadline.

    i’m surprised he cleared. Figured his numbers this season would attract someone, even just as a pinch runner for the postseason.

      SFG, even if he is LH.

      Like you said as a PR for a team even. He is a way better version of Joey “Gaspipe” Gaithrite who is almost always on some teams September roster to steal bases anyway.

        Gathright’s too busy getting struck out by Roger Clemens in the Atlantic League to be on a Major League roster.

    Surprised Dbacks and Dodgers didn’t block. Dbacks may be giving up now.
    While his defense is poor, he can still hit.

    I wouldn’t mind Giants picking him up. He’d be our 8 hitter!

      Pierre, Papelbon, and Howard to the Dodgers for six prospects. You heard it here first.

    Is Juan Pierre turning into the Kenny Lofton of the past decade? I could see him ending up in SF or Balt. Orange seems to be in your future Mr. Pierre.

    Too bad he can’t play CF, he’d be a nice upgrade over Stubbs.

      We are not sure he can’t play CF, I know he’s been playing LF this year but, Stubbs would be a defenseive replacement late. But, I agree how can you argue with .300 Avg, .343 OBP, 20 SO, 32 SB vs. .221Avg., .287 OBP, 137 SO, 28 SB

        As a Phillies fan, I can tell you he can’t play CF. He may seem like a good defender, but his arm strength is one of the worst in the league. He’s so bad of a fielder, that when Mayberry Jr. wasn’t play CF everyday, we would use Mayberry as a defensive replacement for Pierre. The misconception is that Mayberry is a bad fielder, when he’s actually a permissable option, however, when you do a defensive replacement by taking the factor of speed out, there’s a problem. So no he can’t play CF

            Alright, and the Red/Nats are best suited for him, but we want a decent return of prospects if u get him, because he’s a very valuable player on any team.

              I doubt you would get decent return of prospects” from anyone! But, with that being said you might get the pitcher (Logan O.) that your GM wanted for Victorino!

                  You would not be getting a #1-3 prospect. I would say the best you would get would be high single A players maybe a double A player. No one like Hamilton though!

        I’ve been watching this guy all year and his defense in left is horrible. Even after trading Victorino the Phillies used Schierholtz, Nix and Mayberry in CF and Charlie loves JP but even he wouldn’t embarrass him in CF.

          Charlie doesn’t love JP. If he did he’d actually play him and have him lead off instead of that hot dog Jimmy Poppins.

    The SF Giants will pick up Veteran Outfielder Juan Pierre. Pierre would make this team better.

    Here’s a idea get rid of either Ciaro or Valdez (perferably Ciaro) and go get Pierre. Always can use another lefthanded bat off the bench and on occasion use him in the outfield and leadoff!!!!

      I’m with you. Juan Pierre isn’t going to be the guy to put you over the top, but he surely gives you more off of the bench than Cairo or Valdez does.
