.871 OPS last year..
Oh give me a freaking break, they give away "area" plays all the time but they're gonna whine about that? Please.
if I could disagree with the boss here, for just one minute....I thought that commercial was stupid. Okay. That is the last time you will get any disagreement from me, sir.
but he's been over 1 OPS lately -that's bananas since he doesn't walk.
It's not fair to say he "doesn't walk." He doesn't walk as much as a lot of power hitters but he's no Desmond.
Also, his BABIP is ridiculously, unsustainably high right now, strongly suggesting that he's due for a major 'correction' downwards in the future.
By the way, as a Mariners fan (on top of my Nats fandom) I can say that Michael Morse's sudden emergence this year is one of the funniest and least expected developments imaginable. I dunno if most Nats fans are aware, but he got dinged for steroids a couple of times during his minor league career (although to be fair, he -- quite plausibly, actually -- contends that two of his suspensions were for the same single violation). So I have to say that I consider his recent power surge to be...well, suspicious. But I'm not about to investigate too carefully!
