I get what you are saying but I think you are underrating Pillar and how difficult it is to fine a good CFer. Based on War Pillar was the 9th best CF in the MLB last year and over the last 2 seasons he is the 8th best based on WAR.
With no obvious candidate to replace him I think you need to tread pretty carefully if you are going to trade Pillar.
