December 10, 201312 yr Being a player who was putting up really good numbers that has no relevance to this topic. He also had already had two years of MLB experience at that point. Also, it's Miguel fucking Cabrera. Don't even try and compare them. Only one that compares to Cabrera right now is Trout. (And back then, as well, considering Trout is going into his age 22 season next year)
December 10, 201312 yr Author What was Miguel Cabrera doing when he was 22 and 23? Busy being the best hitter of the modern day era. Stop.
December 10, 201312 yr Stop what? Where would you rank Morrison among the starting 1B in the majors. I don't want to hear about potential......he is going to be 26 years old this year. I want to compare his production to other starting 1B.
December 10, 201312 yr Morrison stinks. He's very replaceable. Jones > Morrison? Or just a statement?
December 10, 201312 yr Morrison stinks. He's very replaceable. Jones > Morrison? Or just a statement? I think Jones is better than Morrison right now. Can't think of too many teams he could start for.
December 10, 201312 yr Morrison stinks. He's very replaceable. Jones > Morrison? Or just a statement? They're basically the same guy. That's my point. He's so replaceable that we already replaced him. I would be surprised if we get a valuable player in a Logan Morrison trade. No team is that dumb. Teams are just interested because he can be a serviceable platoon bat and they want to buy low. That's all he is. It's just going to be a minor trade. It's insane that Pedro Alvarez name has even been mentioned as a speculative return on this board, by the way.
December 10, 201312 yr Morrison has been terrible, so I'm happy we're replacing him. I knew there was no way in hell they would just start Jones full time. It would be ideal to acquire Trumbo/Morales/Morse to stop gap at first and have Jones platoon with Ruggiano, though. Platoon Lucas at third with someone like Chavez. Seems like they're both going to platoon at first.
December 10, 201312 yr From now on, can we put P. Hill and M. Hill to determine which Hill is being referred to? Cause usually Perry is the one that makes some redonk comments. What is it good for?
December 10, 201312 yr Someone ought to create Godwin's Law for Miguel Cabrera on these forums. Would you explain this law for us too lazy to Google?
December 10, 201312 yr Someone ought to create Godwin's Law for Miguel Cabrera on these forums. Would you explain this law for us too lazy to Google? Godwin's Law states that, as an online discussion lengthens in time, the probability of someone making a comparison to Hitler or Nazis approaches 1. It seems to happen on these boards every time there's a discussion. Miguel Cabrera always comes up, and usually in a ridiculous way lol

Can't think of too many teams he could start for.Apparently there's at least 7 teams he would start for, because that's how many are interested in trading for him as of today.

December 10, 201312 yr In his career, LoMo is kinda close on Lefty/righty splits but he was bad vs LHP in 2013.
December 10, 201312 yr Morrison hit .183 with a .491 OPS against lefty pitchers in 2013. He is a career .244 hitter with a .707 OPS against lefties. That screams platoon player in my book.

His splits are close in his career. He can be an everyday guy. Heck, he hit lefties better than he hit righthanders for a while.
December 10, 201312 yr Take a team like the Pirates, they would be looking at him as probably a platoon player. I think the Marlins should either wait a while to see how teams fill up at 1B or they should deal him before the winter meetings are over.
December 10, 201312 yr Author I could see waiting being the best option because they don't HAVE to move him. Let a few more options come off the board, such as Loney, and watch the price go up.
December 10, 201312 yr The price will only go up if all the other teams don't fill their needs at 1B. I think the Marlins are trading Morrison no matter what, and that might be coming from above the GM.
December 10, 201312 yr DeAza is probably available after the White Sox picked up Adam Eaton today. I bet he wouldn't cost much prospect wise and he would be an upgrade in LF. And he can hit at the top of the lineup.
