Jimmy Paredes, a foil for the Orioles 2015

Jimmy Paredes had an up down 2015 and finished right around the middle. Started off carrying the offense and watched it all come crashing down in the second half as his playing time cratered.

Jimmy Paredes provided a perfect foil (the literary definition) for the 2015 Orioles. He went through spurts of the year playing some of the best baseball of his life and slowly but surely crashed back down to earth and eventually out of consistent playing time. He posted a 96 wRC+ for the season, an average hitter at the plate, yet that would fail to tell you that in the first half he posted a 118 wRC+ and in the second half posted a 38 wRC+.
