Pierre's hitting makes him a poor choice for a starter. With a different attitude though, he could be a good bench guy.
His noodle arm is, IMO, somewhat mitigated by his fielding prowess; he's actually a damn good CFer, at least with the glove.
Because of his great speed, he gets to a lot of balls, and has excellent range.
And sure-handed? In his year with the Cubs, he played all 162 games, and didn't commit a single error. Literally, not <i>one</i>. That's pretty good.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
