Mets sign outfielder Kevin Pillar

Mets outfielder Kevin Pillar (Credits to MetsMerizedOnline.com) The New York Mets signed outfielder Kevin Pillar to a one-year major-league deal. Pillar spent the past season with the Boston Red Sox and Colorado Rockies. He hits well against left-handed pitching with a .286 lifetime average and had 26 hits and five walks in 82 at-bats this year. Pillar brings depth to the bench as another righty bat as well as strong defense. He's not the centerfielder he used to be in his prime, but he still plays good enough at the corner outfield postions in left field and right field.
