Kevin Pillar emerges as leadoff option for Blue Jays
by Andrew Seifter | Angels Correspondent | Fri, Apr 14th 10:48pm EDT
Kevin Pillar went 2-for-4 while batting leadoff against the Orioles on Friday, after spending the first nine games hitting at the bottom of the order.
Fantasy Impact:
With the Blue Jays off to an awful start and struggling to score runs even before Josh Donaldson was placed on the DL, manager John Gibbons has been shuffling the batting order in search of a spark. Pillar had one of the worst on-base percentages in the league last year, so he's a questionable choice to hit leadoff. That said, he held his own on Friday and was a solid fantasy contributor back in 2015, so if he can stick at the top of the order, he could become an interesting fantasy option.
