Juan needs to hit the weights?

From Mike Kiley:

‘Juan Pierre went 0-for-4 and is hitting .235. Baker knows Pierre has to bunt better toward third.

If you can hit some balls by the third baseman (emphasis added), he’ll back up,’’ Baker said about line drives coming first. “And a lot of his bunts haven’t been close to the third-base line. If the third baseman has to go to his right and throw back across his body, this is when those bunts will be successful.’’ ‘

Nice.

I think you're reading something into this that isn't there. I strongly doubt that Dusty was saying that Pierre didn't have the strength or capability to hit it by the 3Bman.

Rather, Dusty was simply observing that when Pierre does hit the ball hard (whenever that is), if he can place it in the direction of 3B, it would keep the 3Bman honest, which would enable Pierre to be more successful with the bunt.
