Lewis Brinson, namely, had a horrible campaign from from to back. After clubbing five homers in Spring Training, Brinson didn’t hit any through the entire regular season. Although he ranked 11th on the Miami Marlins with 248 plate appearances, he only slashed .173/.236/.221. His -1.7 fWAR was the second worst mark in the majors, behind only former Miami Marlins catcher Jeff Mathis (-2.1).
It’s pretty clear that Brinson didn’t work out, and is not the successor to Christian Yelich as we had hoped soon after the trade with the Milwaukee Brewers. JT Riddle was tried in center for 31 games, ranking second on the team.
