Just got back for a week at ST. I really like Pillar's swing but like many of you I don't expect his walk rate to get a whole lot better, although I think there is more power potential. I have to say he puts on a show in BP, hitting balls just as far if not further than the big bats on the team. I'll admit I never saw him last year in BP so I don't know if he always hit the ball this hard but it sure is nice to watch.
And in the end is still is just BP. Josh frickin Thole won a HR derby the guys did for fun with one of the ugliest batting stances I've ever seen.
