Torre on Pierre
He grinds out at-bats and can steal bases.
Certainly you'd like everyone to have a .400 on-base percentage, but that's not always the case.
He's a nuisance.
We want quality at-bats.

"He grinds out at-bats ... We want quality at-bats."
JP saw 3.40 pitches per plate appearance last year. That is the THIRD FEWEST amongst NL batting title qualifiers and tenth fewest amongst NL players with 300 PAs (about a half season) or more. (Nomar was one of the ten lower - 3.34 P/PA.)
