He has been inconsistent, at best, at the Major League level. Not sure that adding a 28 year old bench/utility player is the answer the Pirates are looking for at the corner positions. He has a full season of games under his belt (163 to be exact) and has "wowed" us with these numbers: .246/.316/.392 for a .708 OPS 9 HR 52 RBI and here's the big problem in my eyes 42BB and 94K In comparison Lyle Overbay projects to: .240/.310/.365 for a .676 OPS 12 HR 61 RBI 54BB and 115K Numbers would suggest that Steve Pearce and Lyle Overbay are practically the same player. Is that really an upgrade? Not sold on Steve Pearce. He has been inconsistent, at best, at the Major League level.

He has a full season of games under his belt (163 to be exact) and has “wowed” us with these numbers:

.246/.316/.392 for a .708 OPS

9 HR 52 RBI

and here’s the big problem in my eyes

42BB and 94K

In comparison Lyle Overbay projects to:

.240/.310/.365 for a .676 OPS

12 HR 61 RBI

54BB and 115K

Numbers would suggest that Steve Pearce and Lyle Overbay are practically the same player. Is that really an upgrade?
