Then came the offseason trade in December 2018 to St. Louis, where Goldschmidt didn’t hit nearly as well (.260) and saw his ISO dip to its lowest level since 2016. The result was his worst full-season OPS ever.

Kemp has sunk so far so fast that it’s easy to forget that a mere four years ago, he was on the same career path as an all-time great like Winfield.

It was a good call because after doing such a good job of getting on base in April, he was even better in May, while piling up 15 runs and 17 ribbies. While Moreland mashed six dingers in June, his OBP plummeted, and got even worse in July, when he absolutely sucked (.145 BA). Despite less PT in August, he enjoyed his best month of the season, scoring plenty of runs and putting up a season-best in RBI while walking less often. Contact issues in September limited Moreland’s ability to get on base, but all told 2017 was a strong season for him as he hit better than he had during his final year with the Rangers.

However, he might not be ready for the NFL. Every accomplishment Jeudy has on his resume comes from being able to outrun or out boundary opposing defensive backs. His high-cut running style and average short area awareness makes him unsuited for the slot, and he’s not physical. Jeudy was rarely challenged on the line of scrimmage and in the air during college.

Miami is likely to bring in another quarterback as the full rebuild rages on. Rosen, the current work-in-progress in Miami, is on a contract through 2021 denting the cap space for $2.2 million in 2020 and $3 million in 2021. Not a bad gamble for a team with huge cap space that needs young leaders. Bringing in Tagovailoa for a QB competition while filling the rest of the roster with upside draft products is a great way for Miami to contend for the division and hedge its bets. Moreover, his aforementioned confidence in pro style RPO and spread offenses meshes well with Miami’s preferred offensive philosophy.
