DocBauer Old-Timey Member Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I think a positive clubhouse with good chemistry matters. I've yet to hear how anyone thinks Morales will do that. It's more that his mere presence next year will somehow manage to impact subsequent seasons. If you want guys to be mentors, you don't have to pay them 8M for a couple years. You can find some on 1 year deals for that. Once again, just to be clearance, I think we're finding some common ground. I don't know Morales' clubhouse influence. Could be great! I just don't know at this point. But, his production could not only be an excellent year or two "patch", but he might be a positive influence. Actually, I'd like to learn more about his personality and leadership skills. But the arguement continues that he, or another potential replacement, as well as a proposed vet LF, are not long term signings, but what you state, a patch.
Dr. Evil Verified Member Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 In my eyes - Sano, Buxton, Rosario, Berrios, and Polanco are unlikely to see significant time until 2016. Making 2017 a more realistic timetable. But boy do I hope I'm wrong and it goes more the way you suggest! Either way - Morales and his dumpy hitting and athleticism that looks more like he's 41 than 31 just don't interest me. 167/23/80(hits/hr/RBI) for kendrys in 2013. Which 9 do the twins have that can best those numbers?

Shall I point out his 2014 numbers? Morales is about as far away from his 2013 numbers as he is close to Florimon's. He's been that bad.

TheLeviathan Old-Timey Member Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Watch him I in the second half. He had no spring training. I hope you're right. I was a big fan of his signing, but he's looked completely awful so far.
Dr. Evil Verified Member Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I think he has played around 33 games this year right?
Dr. Evil Verified Member Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 It will sure be fun to compare his numbers to others in the second half. Hope he does well. He has a good track record anyway.
