Rest-of-Season Projections
Will begin broadcasting career
FOX Sports officially announced Tuesday that Pierzynski would serve on its broadcast team on a full-time basis during the 2017 MLB season.
ANALYSIS
This likely spells the end of Pierzynski's playing career, which seemed to be a foregone conclusion after he failed to latch on with a team prior to spring training. The 40-year-old, a two-time All-Star, will end his 19-year career with 2,043 hits and 188 homers across stints with the Twins, Giants, White Sox, Rangers, Cardinals, Red Sox and Braves.

It looked like Pierzynski may have been headed for the broadcast booth permanently after a poor 2014 campaign, one which saw him post a career-worst .288 OBP while returning negative value behind the plate. After signing with Atlanta one a one-year deal, Pierzynski went on to have one of the best overall offensive seasons of his career, with his 114 OPS+ representing the third-best mark in his 18 MLB campaigns. He was not, however, all that impactful from a fantasy standpoint, as he failed to reach double-digit home runs and his playing time took a hit down the stretch with the Braves wanting to find out what Christian Bethancourt was made of. That he finished in the top-10 in returned 5x5 rotisserie value at catcher (10th) speaks far more to the lack of depth at the position than Pierzynski's effectiveness with the bat. He will likely see his playing time reduced in 2016, with Tyler Flowers warranting a larger share of the workload than Bethancourt did.
