Jacoby Ellsbury and Michael Bourn are being highly drafted, while Pierre has been more of an afterthought at this point. This sets Pierre up to be a potentially strong value pick, offering similar production several rounds later. If you can make up for getting little in HR and RBI, Pierre offers a way to easily address SB with one player. .290-95-1-35-52 in 620 AB

Positives / Upside	Pierre still has great speed - he nabbed 30 bases last season despite only getting 380 AB - and now that he is likely to start once again, he should be a premier source for SBs. The last time he received full-time at-bats, he stole 64 bases, and he could approach that number this season. Pierre is also a career .301 hitter, giving him value in 3 categories.
Negatives / Downside	All of Pierre's value is wrapped up in his speed. If he suffers a leg injury, he can't make up for a drop in steals with production in other categories. If you draft Pierre, you'll need to compensate by fortifying your power numbers elsewhere. His batting average could also suffer from switching to the more difficult league.
