Think about how ineffective Pie is when he's NOT playing. In a close game/late inning situation, would you want Pie coming off the bench as a pinch-hitter? It's not saying much for your offensive skills when pitchers like Zambrano & Marquis swing a better stick than a position player. So the Cubs basically have one less bat on the bench for those situations. I'd love to see him shorten his swing, and also try to bunt to get on base. With his speed I'm sure he could leg a few out. It would also change the position of the defense. With a first and third baseman playing in, a sharply hit grounder could get past those guys. It's frustrating. Not exactly looking forward to getting Eyre back either. But to Eyre is human, to forgive divine. I agree with you. Think about how ineffective Pie is when he’s NOT playing.
