生涯vs右 .290/.331/.442/.773, 557 SO/236 BB
生涯vs左 .261/.291/.384/.675, 218 SO/ 33 BB

上季成績 .272/.297/.425/.722, 76 SO/ 11 BB (OBP生涯最低)
上季vs右 .269/.286/.438/.724, 42 SO/ 5 BB (353 PA)

Δ 2014 Projection: Steamer: 265/302/411 12 HR
Marcels: 269/309/431 17 HR


Δ 成績下降原因可能包含： 1. 對戰右投之BABIP，上季.268、生涯.302
2. 選保送能力持續衰退


Δ AJP今年11保送，老爹五月到九月每個月都比他多


Δ John Henry曾這麼說(有一段時間了)：

「過去15~20年以來FA都被高估了，因為每當他們打出好的一年就能拿到長約，反之
只能拿一年約。棒球界存在著『回歸正常值』的定理。」


Δ 簽下一年的AJP是對Christian Vazquez和Daniel Butler投下信任票(這兩位的ETA都是
2015年) (或許還包含信任Lavarnway，如果沒被賣的話)

簽Salty三年的話可以接到黑甜心，不過紅襪死守兩年


Δ 跟AJP同隊過的：老爹(雙城)、上原(條子)、Peavy (白襪)

他們賽後聲稱他們在講Alabama vs. Florida football和誰是比較好的獵人之類的


Δ AJP表示老爹以前會跟他玩各式各樣的比賽，守備比賽、全壘打大賽、嘴砲比賽...

''David's a great guy, a good friend of mine. David and I have gone back and
forth for years. He's the best. I love him."


Δ http://0rz.tw/4LkKn

AJP的祖父在Bridgehampton White Eagles打球，當時他們有位球僮叫做...

Carl Yastrzemski.


Δ AJP的高中隊友...強尼大門


Δ AJP攻擊好球帶外球路的比率：49.6% (大聯盟最差)
揮棒率：今年唯一一位超過60%的打者


Δ AJP每PA看見的球數：3.27；Salty：4.02

My fingers are tired of typing "Pierzynski."


Δ Ozzie Guillen的經典語錄：

"If you play against him, you hate him. If you play with him, you hate him a
little less.’’


Δ 生涯獲得獎項：

The player they would most like to see beaned (2006)
Baseball's meanest player (2011)
Baseball's most hated player (2012)

AJP：「如果投票結果出爐後發現我不是第一名的話，我會很失望。」

http://t.co/ubKwwOLZLT AJP事蹟XD

‧ He runs across the pitcher's mound after he has been thrown out at first
base. "I've tried to avoid that," he said. "I try to run around it, or
whatever." His attempts have sometimes been unsuccessful.

‧ He sometimes celebrates after he has made a big play. "He'll catch a guy
stealing at second, and then he'll turn around and find the people in the
stands he's left tickets for and point at them, like, 'You see what I just
did?'" said a pro scout who has watched him extensively.

‧ He talks too much. "He's always sayin' stuff," explains his manager, Robin
Ventura. Adds his mother: "His teachers used to say, 'Oh my god, I hear him
in my sleep.'"

‧ Sometimes, his talking includes loudly cursing from behind the plate after
an opposing player has gotten a hit, thereby intimating that the player is
not skilled enough to have done so. "I might yell an obscenity if we made a
bad pitch," Pierzynski admits.

‧ After he has made an out, he often abuses his equipment -- particularly
his helmet and his bat -- in such a way as to suggest that the pitcher got
him out due to luck rather than skill. "Getting out obviously isn't fun,"
Pierzynski said. "You make an out, sometimes you get mad. Wish I wouldn't."
