I think people are over-reacting a bit to an off-season fluff piece. Of course he is still going to work on being an OF. He's not going to DH 162 games.
I’m good with him getting innings in an MLB pen this year but would want him to build on that as a starter in the minors next year if the plan is to develop as a starter.
Saw that Pillar signed with the Braves on a minor league deal. Would have been a solid option and probably a favorite for the 4th OF role if he were here.
Exactly my point. He gets more playing time rather than taking an offer to be a bench/platoon player. If money is close, he probably doesn’t pick White Sox over Red Sox if he can play more.
