Today the Giants traded for a stellar outfielder in Kevin Pillar. This is exactly the type of move we talked about yesterday in this blog. The Giants had a relatively quiet offseason and made some last minute, questionable, moves to give us our opening day roster. Now we have added an outfielder who has played over 140 games in each the last 4 seasons. He is an excellent defender and in the last two years has hit 16 and 15 home runs. This is a guy who at the top of the lineup with Duggar could really provide the Giants a spark. His lowest total in the last 4 years of full time play was 59 runs scored, with the highest being 76. He is a decent base stealer and hits 30-40 doubles a year. We now have 2 everyday outfielders that can provide a spark in the lineup. It will be interesting to see how Bochy works the outfield. My hope is to see Pillar and Duggar be consistent with Parra and Solarte filling the outfield based on pitching. With this trade the Blue Jays will receive RHP’s Juan DePaula and Derek Law along with IF Alen Hanson. The Giants have DFA’d Michael Reed to make room on the roster.
