I was expecting to read about the next Puig/Abreu/Oler and instad see he's Juan Pierre.

Who knows who he will be? He is supposedly blazing fast with below average power. However he recently added 20 pounds to his frame which might translate into more power. It also might translate into less speed?????

From all the Internet scuttlebutt - good player, comparable to Gardner on the Yanks in scouts' eyes. NY was looking at him as a 2nd baseman. Beyond lack of power, supposedly just an OK arm for a CF

I don't think we'll see him anytime soon. Supposedly, he hasn't played baseball in over a year.

I'd think, given the lost season, that Boston would try to get him as much action as possible this year to see exactly what they have. A surplus of outfielders could lead to a winter trade.
