BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 41% of Yahoo leagues
ANALYSIS: Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar has been fairly consistent over the last three seasons, averaging 12 homers and 18 steals. With stolen bases becoming increasingly sparse relative to homers, Pillar is an interesting pickup.
This year, he is up to more of the same, with a homer and three steals in his first 14 games. He only faces average pitching matchups this week, but he has the opportunity to be a five category contributor nonetheless. If you need steals without losing much in the other categories, Pillar should be your choice this week.
While matchups against the Royals and the Yankees are strong ones for Pillar and the Blue Jays, the fact that he can contribute in a variety of ways should keep him in your lineup beyond this week. He is a serviceable backup that can be used in all formats.
