, and there was never an in-between. If he could have found a middle ground, maybe keep the hot steaks, but find a way to mitigate the downtimes, his career would be much better. Possibly be Mike Trout some days andThe one consistent thing was his defense. He had no regard for his body. He never worried about the score. He would run through walls or throw himself into the ground in a close game or blowout.
Anyway, he was with the Blue Jays for six seasons, plus about a week. He came up in mid-August 2013 . In 2014, he was called up in mid-May but got banished back to the minors when he got angry when John Gibbons decided to pinch-hit for him on June 24. One could imagine a guy hitting .225/.220/.300 wouldn’t have been surprised when a pinch hitter came in. But, of course, it wascoming in to pinch hit for you that would make you seriously question if baseball was really for you.
At the end of August, he was back up with a better attitude and a better bat. He hit .289/.333/.447 the rest of the way.. They had switched spots by the end of the month, and Dalton, hitting .203/.276/.354 and taking his batting troubles into the outfield with him, had played his way back to Buffalo. On the other hand, Pillar hit .272/.309/.380 in April and played some of the best outfield defense we had seen since. Unfortunately, May didn’t go as well. He hit .225/.250/.351.
Pillar kept the CF job until April 2, 2019, when he was traded to the Giant for three guys, the best of which turned out to beAs a Jay, Kevin hit .260/.297/.396 in 695 games with 82 home runs and an OPS+ of 86. But, with his defence, he ended up with an 8.2 bWAR.Career, he has a .259/.296/.408 line with 97 home runs in 10 seasons and 1033 games. His defense isn’t what it was, though he can still make the highlight-reel catches. He only played four games in 2022.
