re: Tre Morgan hit his 1st professional HR

People really conflate what Morgan is able to do with what he did. He has plenty of raw power to play first base at the next level. You can see his exit velos and how far he hit the ball and see what he's capable of doing, but that was never his role on our team. He choked up and hit the ball to all fields. I liken him to a guy like Brandon Belt. Belt had 14 total home runs in 2 seasons at Texas and was elite defensively. In his now 13 years as a starting 1st baseman in the majors, he has hit more than 18 HRs in all of one season, hitting 29 in 2019. But he has a .994 career fielding%. To say there is no value in a player like Tre at first base is simply not true.
