but im sad to see morse go.
If you can move him for a quality lefty reliever to replace Burnett, you can keep the nucleus of last years squad with a healthy Strasburg and having added a true lead-off hitter as a defensive center fielder, then I think it's a no brainer to deal Morse.
I was thinking morse could be a good platoon with betemit at dh but evdidently he hits right handers better than left handers. So I don't think he is a good fit with the orioles.
The Orioles are just a perplexing franchise to predict, at least from an outsiders perspective. I'm sure this forum could be searched ad nauseum to see my thoughts on this and Angelos and his "character tests" post the Albert Bell deal, but in a year when I really thought they would splash a little cash or make a deal or two they've sat quiet.
They still might deal with AZ (likely Kubel over Upton given Angelos history of clubhouse first) and there's some pitching to be had.
But hey, they nearly won the division and made the playoffs with last years squad, the rest of the division is in decline (save for Toronto, who mortgaged the future to win this year) so maybe they're in the right spot this season doing nothing.
