Kevin Pillar Could Start In Right Field For San Francisco
6 years agoNewly acquired San Francisco Giants outfielder Kevin Pillar will likely start in right field on Wednesday, reports Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic. Pillar was acquired from Toronto for infielder Alen Hanson, relief pitcher Derek Law and prospect Juan DePaula. At 30, Pillar has always been known for his defensive prowess but from a fantasy perspective, he's fit more for NL-only formats. Last season he slashed .252/.282/.426 with 15 home runs, 59 runs batted in, 65 runs scored and 14 steals. However, going from the indoors in Toronto to the enormous Oracle Park in San Francisco won't make matters easier for Pillar. Dodgers starting pitcher Ross Stripling is set to start against the Giants on Wednesday, but until we see where Pillar fits in the lineup, his fantasy value is low.
