I believe your first mistake is assuming that any team managed by Grady Little would follow much logic and win with any consistency.
But in Little's defense, Pierre has a horrible on-base record, and sticking a guy with a .316 OB% that high in your order is like signing up for a few extra outs each series. Pierre has never been a patient guy at the plate, so he almost has to hit .300+ to justify being placed high in the lineup.
Right now, he'd be the perfect guy to hit ninth for La Genius over in St. Louis.
