Over the last two years, the St. Louis Cardinals had six outfielder seasons worth between 1.4 and 2.8 Wins Above Replacement, as measured by FanGraphs. Randal Grichuk (twice), Stephen Piscotty, Dexter Fowler, Brandon Moss, and Jose Martinez have epitomized a recent trend among Cardinals outfielders, which is overwhelming adequacy. And although Tommy Pham bucked this trend in 2017 be being legitimately excellent, with 5.9 fWAR, he too is a candidate to regress and be much closer to the average-ish player he was before 2017 than the MVP candidate he was last season.
The Cardinals should sign Jarrod Dyson
