So would the same hold true for a "defensive-first" player like Pillar? If you moved him to RF would his defense be so much better than a replacement player in RF that it would make up for his replacement level like bat, thus his WAR wouldn't be affected?
And if that holds true, and Fowler insisting on playing CF is true, then wouldn't it make some sense, at least statistically, to just sign him on the promise that he could play CF and Pillar could play RF? lol
