The Giants non-tendered last season's best hitter in Kevin Pillar. Trade candidate Starling Marte is an intriguing potential replacement.The San Francisco Giants shocked many when they did not extend center fielder Kevin Pillar a qualifying offer last week.
It even shocked Around the Foghorn contributors. In a roundtable last month, all three writers who weighed in agreed at the time that the Giants should extend Pillar an offer.
Pillar, who turns 31 in January, was acquired in April of last season and he went on to lead the team in hits (157), doubles (37), home runs (21), RBI (87), runs scored (82) and steals (14).
