From today’s Cardinals Conclave:
Dexter Fowler is the veteran of the group. He “rebounded” from a horrendous 2018, where he was worth -1.4 WAR, due to .190 batting average and a .298 slugging percentage. He still wasn’t very good though. He netted 1.7 WAR, a far cry from the 4 WAR season he was coming off of when we signed him. (That 4 WAR season was the only one of career over 3 WAR and now is starting to look like a fluke.
That fluke season while he was in his FA year with the Cubs made Mozeliak grossly overpay him. Bowtie is foolishly trying to squeeze something out of Fowler that just isn’t there. I don’t get this at all.
