I'm in. Ask Kurosawa about hired guns....er, blades
He knew.
I loved Morse the first time we had him. All he did was hit the ball hard. He got hurt. We panicked. Oops.
We're he named Butler, we would squeal....right on. But he isn't named Butler, so the price will be dang reasonable.
Furbish? Oh, pleeeeeze.
Goodness knows I'm a Carp fan, but Carp is gone anyway. And Morse is all we want Carp to be. And more than we hope Smoak to be.
Run Saunders out to CF everyday. Split LF in a platoon of some sort, include Guti or Wells (preferably). I suppose the momentum is to include Raul in that platoon. I would go with Thames...I think he's about to mash. Raul's vR #'s the last three years have been .277-.366-.455, .256-.307-.440, .248-.319-.492. Thames has been .261-.307-.446 over the same period. Not enough difference to spit at. Which is why the Raul signing was weird in the first place. The Guti/Wells guy would get another 50 starts vR (Resting Saunders and Morse), anyway.
And you really aren't going to play a lot of games with Morse AND Raul in the same OF. Ish!
You could well get two years out of Morse...or three.
Take the big guy (for the right lefty bullpen arm) and run. Giggle as you do it.
