Giants: Can Mike Yastrzemski handle everyday center field duties?

The San Francisco Giants have had a tough time effectively filling the center field position over the years.

Veteran Kevin Pillar proved to be a useful stop-gap option in 2019 after he was acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays in an April trade, but an ugly .287 on-base percentage and an arbitration projection approaching $10 million convinced the front office to non-tender him.

So where does that leave the Giants outfield?

In a recent mailbag article, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area indicated that he expects 2019 rookie standout Mike Yastrzemski to man center field for the upcoming season.
