Morrison is a younger Morse - can play an adequate OF or a pretty good 1B (he's LH), has enthusiasm to burn when he's treated right (which is why Gordon is absolutely right that Miami will want him out if they get rid of their other vets (Nolasco & Stanton)) and has thump in his bat when he's healthy. He's a bit more agile than Smoak, but not quite as good at 1B. I especially like the versatility of being able to back up Smoak (or take over if Smoak face-plants) or DH or be a 5th OF. I don't think we could afford to keep Morse if we got LoMo, though.
Interesting point if we got LoMo and Stanton - of the 2010 BA Top 100 prospects list, we'd have: #3-Stanton, #4-Montero, #11-Ackley, #13-Smoak, #20-Morrison, and #30-Saunders. Of course, Trout was #85 on that list, so what do they know? ;-)
