Fantasy Analysis
Pearce spent a week with the Pirates earlier this month and went 1-for-3 as a pinch-hitter. The 25-year-old rookie made his major league debut last September, hitting .294 with six RBI in 23 games. The Pirates traded Nady, their starting right fielder, and left-handed reliever Damaso Marte to the Yankees in a six-player deal completed Saturday. Take a flyer on Pearce now in NL-only leagues as he figures to get everyday at-bats. McCutchen owners will have to continue to wait for now. (Updated 07/26/2008).
