I liked Morse...Thought the M's just gave up on him too early.  The shoulder injury doomed him...because he had to sit and people forgot he could hit. He was kind of a weird duck, I thought.  6'5, 230...but didn't hit (until last year) like a masher.  Swing didn't seem to have "boom"in it.  But it did have some ropes.  Last year "boom" turned up. He had 6 homers in 392 PA's up until last year.....then had 15 in 293.  And it may have been a simple "Carp-like" transition to a guy who learned to stalk a pitch. Perhaps.
Anyway....I still think Tui has a season like that coming up.  Maybe even better.  But Tui finds himself in basically a slugfest with Milton.  Looks like they basically fit the same role.  I didn't think Tui was totally terrible in the IF last year, as a utility type guy.  Tui won't be kept as the 4th OF.  Won't happen.  I'm rooting for Mike Wilson, on that one, really.  He has an upside I would like to see have a chance.  That role will probably go to Langerhans, which is a complete waste in the sense that he does nothing for the M's team that might compete in '12/'13.
But as the 24th/25th guy...1B/COF/DH/guy who allows you to do some switching late in games in the IF.  He makes great sense.
Tui will hit.  I hope it is in Seattle.
