6 home runs in his last 14 games. He's played very good defense all year and it's nice to see his power stroke finally show up. This Kid's going to be just fine.

I hope so.

Maybe next year do it before being eliminated.

I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

Production when the season is over. No thanks. At best he will never be more than an average player.

He's still a rookie with less than 500 career AB's. Sure you would have liked to have him figure it out sooner but if nothing else this is something positive to build on for next season.

I hope you're right.

I just have nightmares of him being Chris Snopek.

Nah. Snopek didn't have near the glove Morel has. That alone will buy Morel plenty of time to figure things out at the plate and I think he will.

he's another Beckham...i just dont see it...same body build, etc

_________________

Except that he has more HRs, more RBIs, and a batting average about 25-30 points higher. At this point I like him a lot more than Beckham.

SHARK oughta love this thread



Aramis Ramirez.

no doubt... morel has a much brighter future than beckham at a more difficult defensive position to play..and play very well

? to start last season Beckham had the brightest future of any player in recent memory?

Now Morel has a brighter future?

i never bought into gordon beckham hype and face of the franchise after 400 at bats...but i am buying into morel...i see morel next season hitting 270 ish with 12-15 home runs and an excellent glove..wish he were on the cubs

Another home run for Morel last night. He's now hitting .271/.400/.671/1.071 in September.

Yeah really. I watched a lot of Morel, and the Sox will be lucky if he's average. The only good thing about him is his glove. He better develop 20+ HR power if he's going to bat .250.

i think morel will be a 20 hr guy in 2 years and hit 270 plus...and be a gold glover at 3rd.. what more can you ask for?

_________________

He's hit 13 home runs in 463 career at bats. I don't think developing 20 home run power is much of a stretch.

Cubs once had a guy that hit 20 HR's, 6'3" big strong chest. 1st round pick! Did it in 358 AB's!

Actually still have him

and the manager is an idiot for not playing him everyday but they had to get to that magic 70 win total. Woo-Hoo!!!!!

I saw something comparing his progress with that of the Twins 3B Valencia.

You would love for Morel to have the career Aramis has had. Too bad it will never happen, not even come close.

I'd love it more if Morel could muster up more than 3 HRs during the first 8 weeks of the season.
