Slater should be the 4th OF. But it doesnt matter how much he hits better than Duggar. Slater is a corner OF. The Giants must have a plus defender in a Center.
No, Slater is the definition of an average MLB outfielder. But Slater hit .321 last year in AAA, 60 points higher than Duggar. Their comparative 2017 AAA lines were:
Duggar:Â .261/.370/.413/.783
Slater:Â Â .321/.377/.467/.845
Before Slater's core injury (he tried to come back too soon, played five games and then had an operation), he batted .290/.343/.430/.773 for the Giants. For comparison's sake, Pence batted .260/.315/.385/.701.

Slater will get plenty of ABs if he is the 4-5th OF. But he isnt a CFer
