Newsbreakers
August 15, 2009
Steve Pearce went 2-for-4 with a steal on Saturday, but it wasn't nearly enough, as the Pirates lost 3-1 in Chicago.
Our View:
Pearce's two hits raised his average from .217 to .233. He's worth monitoring in NL-only formats.
August 9, 2009
Steve Pearce homered and drove in two runs on Sunday, but couldn't prevent Pittsburgh from getting swept, as the Bucs lost 7-3 to the Cardinals at home.
Our View:
Pearce is batting just .230 with two runs in 25 games this season, and is not a good option in NL-only formats.
July 23, 2009
As expected, Steve Pearce has been recalled by the Pirates from the minors, according to TSN.
Our View:
He was recalled by Pittsburgh to provide depth at first base after dealing Adam LaRoche to Boston. Pearce was batting .286 with 13 homers in Triple-A, and is worth adding in NL-only leagues.
July 22, 2009
The Pirates are planning on recalling Steve Pearce on Thursday, and playing him regularly at first base in wake of the Adam LaRoche trade, according to ESPN.
Our View:
Pearce is just 1-for-12 in the major leagues this season, though he is a career .254 hitter in 189 at-bats.
July 8, 2009
Steve Pearce has been demoted to Triple-A Indianapolis, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Dejan Kovacevic.
Our View:
Pearce had just one hit in 11 at-bats since being called up in June. He is not fantasy relevant in any format at this point.
June 21, 2009
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that rookie call-up Steve Pearce started Saturday's game on the bench and will likely see most of his time there in the near future.
Our View:
Manager John Russell indicated that it would be tough to find starts for Pearce, who was brought up to give the team some power from the right side. He is an intriguing fantasy talent, but won't be worth a lick until the Buccos can find a way to get his bat in the lineup.
June 20, 2009
According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Pirates will recall first base/outfield prospect Steve Pearce from Triple-A for Sunday's game.
Our View:
Pearce had 11 home runs and 42 RBI for Triple-A Indianapolis and will look to make an impact right away on a young, struggling Pirates team. Craig Monroe was DFAed to make room for him and Pearce could have some value in NL-only leagues if he gets consistent at-bats.
June 9, 2009
Steve Pearce went 3-for-5 with a pair of homers for Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.
Our View:
Pearce failed to make the Pirates out of spring training, and he has been a mild disappointment for Indy hitting just .275-8-36.
March 28, 2009
Steve Pearce was sent down by Pittsburgh to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
Pearce, who can play both right field and first base, lost out to Nyjer Morgan in the outfield, while Adam LaRoche is entrenched at first. Still, he should see time up with Pittsburgh at some point this season if either LaRoche of any of the Pirates' outfielders get hurt, though he's not worth owning until then.
March 12, 2009
Steve Pearce returned to the diamond Wednesday after missing a week with a strained left calf, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
Pearce returns in enough time to push Nyjer Morgan for a starting spot in the outfield. He has some power, and could be worth a look for deeper NL-only leagues.
January 10, 2009
The Rocco Baldelli signing in Boston means that Steve Pearce is more likely to earn a spot with the Pirates next spring, rather than be sent back to Triple-A. "Steve Pearce is a viable option, and he has been from day one," general manager Neal Huntington tells the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "We like Steve and feel like he can be a good big leaguer, but there's still some development left despite his age. We didn't want to have him sitting on the bench if we could find a legitimate option to do that at the major league level. It's possible Pearce could be that legitimate option."
Our View:
Nate McLouth and Brandon Moss are set, and Nyjer Morgan is currently the favorite for a starting job. However, since all three of those outfielders swing from the left side, Pearce may be needed to provide a right-handed complement, and he may even challenge Morgan for a starting spot. Of course, the Bucs still have time to sign someone like Emil Brown.
January 8, 2009
The Pirates appear to be starting three left-handed outfielders for 2009 with Nyjer Morgan, Nate McLouth and Brandon Moss, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
If they don't acquire a righty through a trade or free agency, they could give Steve Pearce a shot, who also has solid power potential which the club wants. Pearce could also work at first base.
