Goodrum had his 2021 season derailed by both calf and groin injuries, which limited him to just 325 plate appearances. Even when he was on the field, Goodrum struggled to make a meaningful impact in large part due to a 33 K% and .292 on-base percentage. The end result was an unceremonious end to Goodrum's tenure in Detroit when he was outrighted off the 40-man roster in mid-November. His potential to latch on elsewhere is in question due to his lack of plate skills. Even so, his ability to be both versatile - he played at least one game at five different positions in 2021 - and capable (86th percentile outs above average) with the glove could make him an attractive option for a club to add on a veteran minimum or minor-league deal. If he can find a semi-regular role, Goodrum still shows some power potential (10.3% barrel rate in 2021) and plenty of speed (85th percentile sprint speed). He signed a one-year deal with Houston could be in the mix at shortstop should Carlos Correa sign elsewhere, though Jeremy Pena is the favorite to start to open spring training.
