.381 OBP when leading off the inning, and why wouldn't you bat Morgan 8th?  It's not like Riggleman has a problem with that being a black hole in the lineup
Not leading off an inning, hitting in the 1 spot in the lineup.  There's a difference when you've got Guz, Zim, Dunn, Hammer hitting behind you instead of Nieves, Desmond, Pitcher, Morgan behind you regardless of when you hit in the inning.

I don't hit Morgan in an the 8 spot in an NL lineup because any strengths he's got, as mininal as they may be right now, they're almost completely neutralized innings 1-6  with no one hitting behind him.
