I had some time to look more deeper into Corey Dickerson's #'s, and I may have to recall my endorsement on him, since at the time, I only looked at the cover.
My concern with Corey Dickerson is how his numbers across the board has declined from April to October.
Quote:
OPS
March/April - 1.015
May - .975
June - .827
July - .701
August - .699
September/October - .596

Looking into his splits is kind of telling as well.

2nd Half -

.282 OBP
.408 SLG
.690 OPS

I think that's probably why Tampa was eager to let him go because of his numbers in the 2017 season declined from a supposedly hot start, and they felt that he was overvalued.
