Kevin Pillar (TOR, OF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 51% of Fleaflicker leagues

ANALYSIS: It's looking like Kevin Pillar's demotion earlier in the season to the bottom of the lineup is beginning to pay off. It took some time for Pillar to transition into his new role, but since the move he's been batting .381 (21-55) with six runs scored, five doubles, one homer, four ribbies, and a stolen base, raising his season average .103 points, from .188 all the way up to .291 over a 15 game span. Michael Saunders, Pillar's replacement in the leadoff spot, has been swinging a hot bat as well so it doesn't look like John Gibbons will shake up the lineup again anytime soon.

Those of you who have remained patient with Pillar are getting what you signed up for upon drafting him. Although, a year after stealing 25 bases in 2015, Pillar has swiped only two in the early going of 2016. The steals could very well come with time as his OBP continues to climb as well. The fact that he's a steals threat, despite the inactivity on the base paths, combined with his recent jump in average is more than enough to add him.
