Meet Brandon Moss, the guy the St. Louis Cardinals acquired via a trade that sent the beloved, gifted and ultimately untested Rob Kaminsky to Cleveland last July. Moss came over and in 151 plate appearances, he put together a .753 OPS(.409 slugging percentage). Not good or bad. For many Cardinals fans, just not enough to woo their satisfaction.
He struck out 30 percent of the time and showed some pop in September but for the most part disappointed. He didn’t bring much aid to the first base problems that arose when Matt Adams showed up in 2015 without much pop and then tore his quadriceps.
