Fantasy Analysis
Pearce was an intriguing prospect as recently as a couple of seasons ago, but he has struggled with injuries and ineffectiveness in his stints in the major leagues. He could be a replacement for Justin Morneau, should he continue to struggle in his comeback from a concussion and assorted injuries. If that is the case, Pearce could be worth a late pick in AL-only drafts. (Updated 12/15/2011).
