Essentially he was negative WAR value his two years. The only player in the last 35 years of data who had two awful years and got a 3rd year as a FT regular, Roger Cedeno, lost his job afterwards.
It’s a series of stats, but boy is that contract a Pujols-level albatross. ZiPS now predicts his next 6 years will be worth 1.8 wins. TOTAL. |
The guy never improved or made any type of adjustment. He's still the same hitter he was when he was called up in 2011. He can fool you with some good streaks, but always reverts back. Guy is what he is -- a .768 OPS hitter -- which sucks at 1b.
