		<description><![CDATA[Pillar is fine but...yeah, considering the decent CF depth the Jays have now, I would trade him to get something the team needs, such as a middle infielder who&#039;s an upgrade on Goins.

As for the drunken illiterates in this comment section...thanks for talking up Pillar&#039;s trade value!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I agree to a certain extent, but I don&#039;t think you need to have an upgrade, rather just a replacement you believe can match his production, or rather his production minus what you believe you&#039;ll gain with the $3.5M extra to spend.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I would only trade Pillar if there was a team that over valued him.  Trading him to free up resources when there is no immediate replacement seems short sited.
If the Jays sign/trade for a better CF then he still has value in LF.  He would immediately become a top 5 defensive LF and likely continue to be for many years even in decline.  With his modest salary it makes more sense to keep him and have him bat at the bottom of the order until you have a clear upgrade.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pro Tip: If you&#039;re going to rant and rave about the lack of intelligence of a guy that writes for a living, perhaps learn to string together a coherent sentence.

I guess I&#039;ll go back to watching replays of &quot;Charlie Hastle&quot; now.  He&#039;s the guy who used to really bug everybody right?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Question for you.  How much do you know about the game and how much do you know about what it actually takes to play at that &quot;high octane level&quot; everyday?  My guess?  You don&#039;t and never have.   And playing house league at the age of 12 doesnt count moron. The dude who wrote the article wrote it from a stats perspective.   He&#039;s suggesting that we&#039;ve seen the best of Pillar so why not trade him now before we declines even further.  It&#039;s an &quot;opinion&quot;. If you disagree, that&#039;s fair.  But say why.  And don&#039;t say its because he has heart.  That&#039;s BS.  There&#039;s a 1000 guys that play professional baseball that play with &quot;heart&quot;.  I couldn&#039;t imagine that your only argument here is that Pillar should stay because, well, he has a ton of heart.  That would make you the idiot.]]></description>
