Well, 21 was tied for the most on the team, tho Yaz played fewer games than Pillar. Team high in 2018 was 16. Also, why give up on a guy that plays hard and still plays effectively?

Hard to give up 21 HRs though, especially on this club.

I dunno, with balls flying the way they did last year,  21 HRs feels like below replacement level.  

Granted,  combined with good defense that becomes an asset (barely?), but I agree with Outsider.  If the goal is to rebuild,  might as well save money and try to uncover a diamond in the rough.  Pillar will likely be in heavy decline in a year or two given how hard he plays.
