Matt Adams was signed as a lefty bat with some power to help fill in the gap left by Markakis opting out (remember when that happened?). Adams hadn’t been good the previous season, but there was hope that he would rediscover his career form at and help bolster the offense.
What went right: Overall, very little. His highlight for this season was probably a walk-off homer that he hit during an exhibition game against Miami. Other than that, he hit two home runs, but didn’t contribute much to the team.
What went wrong: Almost everything.
