I honestly would like to see the Jays move Travis. I don't think he's long for the major leagues from an injury perspective and I think his value is probably as high now as it will ever be.

The guy is a good hitter, but he will be moved to the outfield sooner rather than later at which point his numbers become less impressive. He hits very well for a second basemen, but just decent for an outfielder. Could easily be replaced.

With respect to Pillar, I'm fine giving him some more time. His defence definitely dazzles me, but he's part of the problem as to why the Jays can't get over that hump. You can't have a Center Fielder hitting .250 with no power, who can't bunt or bunt or run the bases. This guys swings at every single pitch. Might be acceptable for a guy that hits 40 homers, it's not for a guy that hits less than ten. CF is a position in baseball that generally drives a lot of offence. He needs to get it together at the plate.
