After Danny Espinosa expressed his unhappiness with the Nationals last winter, the Angels were quick to swoop in and trade for him.

So far, though, the Angels have gotten nothing out of it.

There are some bad hitters covered in the space above, but none is on Espinosa's level. He's logged 254 plate appearances and put up just a .513 OPS. That comes out to a 39 OPS+, the lowest of any hitter with at least 250 plate appearances.

Espinosa's offensive profile has always been limited by an extreme strikeout habit. But as he showed in hitting 24 homers last year, the tradeoff can be good power. With a 35.8 strikeout percentage to go with only six homers, that tradeoff is not there in 2017.

Espinosa also typically offers strong defense to offset his hit-or-miss offense. Although DRS and UZR disagree slightly on the quality of his defense, they both rate him close to average.

Because they gave up little to get him, the Angels' trade for Espinosa isn't a total disaster. But it's been nothing if not disappointing.
