San Francisco Giants: Should Tyler Austin be playing more?

The San Francisco Giants took their time filling out the roster this season, making a couple of trades after the regular season was already underway.

Before they were even 10 games into the season, outfielder Kevin Pillar was acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays and first baseman Tyler Austin was picked up from the Minnesota Twins after he was designated for assignment.

Pillar has become an everyday starter in the outfield, while Austin has played primarily against left-handed pitching, platooning with Brandon Belt at first base and also seeing some time in left field.
