Nice thread! I was wondering about these things and mim summed up everything well, thanks.

But why trade Morse? He is the only one in our starting lineup above .300 right now. Would we (want) to be trading him for another bat or an infielder? Just too many outfield?

Well, the most likely reason is you don't think Morse is a good bet long term after his current deal is up.

When a guy strikes out a lot, but doesn't walk... that usually catches up to most hitters in their early 30's... they're kind of like a ticking time bomb. Some guys last to late 30's, some guys fizzle out quick.
