Kevin Pillar

Let's see if he keeps it up. He's still hitting like Mendoza, just that every hit leaves the yard LOL

Oh, he isn't likely to rake. There's an NL book out on him now.

Nonetheless, his D is still elite and he does have some pop.

As advertised.

He makes us a couple wins better, just didn't think those wins would all come in April.

Well THAT take didn't age well...

.167/.160/.375 does look a lot like Willie Mays . . . Hayes

I don't know about the eye test on Pillar's defense (haven't had a chance to watch him this season), but I do know that dWAR shows slippage on him. Here's what he's looked like in that category since his first full big league season:
2015: 2.8
2016: 2.7
2017: 1.9
2018: 0.3

So far, he's got a 0.1 in his first 15 games of 2019. If he keeps that pace, he'll end a full season around 1.1 dWAR. Decent, but not elite.
