I said the same thing about Smoak before the season last year, and somehow mysteriously he figured things out at the plate. I won't say Pillar is going to have a break out, but baseball can be a strange game. Kevin has never struggled with handling the bat. He just has zero plate discipline. It's hard to imagine that things will somehow change next year, but smoak, bautista and encarnacion were late bloomers so maybe Pillar will be too. I just realized I'm replying to posts from months ago. I hate the bump threads.
