Not sure why you say Camargo is worse. He's certainly not as good v LHP, but he's MUCH better v RHP. V LHP he *does* have more HRs. Overall he's a better player and I would expect his salary to go up (I haven't looked at injuries however).
Looking at his slash between the two years. Last number is OPS
2017 .299 .331 .452 .783
2018 .272 .349 .457 .806
There's not a lot of difference there. Yes, he hit more HRs this year, but interestingly enough, his slugging wasn't all that different. He had more hits in 17, but more walks in 18.
I'm not sure you should have expected a HUGE difference in the player.
