| Mike Morse trade to Seattle. Posted by rpg37 How does this affect his value in fantasy? I have him for $1 in a keeper league. However, with this move and the possibility of him still not playing 1B, he does not even make my keeper list. I see him dropping off in the larger ballparks of the West. Am I off base? My belief is to trade him...can anyone offer me belief this won't affect his numbers?Reply Back to Top |
81 games here Morse's average HR distance last season was 402' Reply Back to Top |
| Is that a comparison of Safeco and Nats Fields? Reply Back to Top |
| Safeco. They are moving in their fences. If he hits it 400' it wont really matter where he is playing. I wouldn't let the ballpark factor affect your decision. I'd be more worried about where he will play and how often. Reply Back to Top |
| I moved him for Utley in your old TDBL team. Reply Back to Top |

| Their offense is much improved, imo. They've been young recently, and now some of those guys are starting to mature. Ackley, Montero, Seager are all just now hitting their primes and the additions of Morales and Morse can only help. Reply Back to Top |
| What is their everyday lineup is my question? How much time does Montero see behind the plate? Have they given up on Smoak? Reply Back to Top |

| I'd be more worried about Morse the player then any factors like ball park and protection(which is a myth). His 2011 season was an anomaly as far as power. He had 70 HR in 2700 AB's in the minors. I'd say 25 HR is a best case scenario (assuming he gets the starting job) Reply Back to Top |
| Montero is going to see significant time behind the plate. They've been putting out feelers on the market for Smoak on the trade market all off season. There's some potential there for a decent offense. Reply Back to Top |
| Who's playing first? Morales? Smoak? Morse? Im thinking its Morales with Smoak/Montero as the DH. And Morse to RF Reply Back to Top |
| Roto says Morse will play lf Reply Back to Top |
| not excited about the move, but at least he will get a chance to compete. hopefully the change of scenery will do him good very surprised the rangers or lastros did not make a run at him Reply Back to Top |
| Morse in left, Morales DH's, and Smoak at first. Of course that could all change if Smoak is moved. Smoak has the best glove of the three(always touted as an Teix type fielder) so I'd think he's the obvious choice for the bulk of the 1B games played. I believe Montero hits much better when he's playing in the field too. Reply Back to Top |
| could look at a lineup as follows CF Guiterrez 2B Ackley DH Morales C Montero 3B Seager RF Morse LF Ibanez 1B Smoak SS Andino Reply Back to Top |
| Saunders will be an everyday player (and Ryan is the SS). Lineup is kind of a cluster frick, unless Smoak hits right away he will lose starts at 1B to Morse and/or Morales. Ibanez is also a platoon guy, I guess Morse gets his OF spot against LHP. Reply Back to Top |
| Now if someone could actually get on base first. Looks about right... I think Saunders starts at the expense of Guiterrez. Reply Back to Top |

| I think for $1 and his 30/100 potential, you have to consider keeping him. I wouldn't sweat over his ballpark. Reply Back to Top Refresh |
