Brent Morel
QUOTE (VAfan @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 05:27 PM) This is the sub-.600 OPS squad on the Sox. Adam Dunn 96 331 30 54 13 0 11 39 100 58 142 0 1 .163 .294 .302 .596 Brent Morel 79 255 22 66 10 0 1 19 79 4 29 2 4 .259 .278 .310 .587 Omar Vizquel 48 142 14 36 5 1 0 8 43 6 17 1 2 .254 .280 .303 .583 Mark Teahen† 51 118 11 24 3 0 3 11 36 12 28 0 1 .203 .277 .305 .582 Alex Rios 105 386 45 83 17 0 7 26 121 22 45 9 5 .215 .259 .313.572 Dunn and Rios have received well-deserved criticisms. Their bloated contracts make it impossible to move them, so we will have to hope they break out. But why is Brent Morel getting a pass? Is he ever going to hit well enough to be a legitimate ML 3rd baseman? Of all the ML 3B listed this year, he ranks 45th. A few others as bad or worse have gotten around his 255 ABs -- Miguel Tejada, Juan Uribe, Chone Figgins, Brandon Inge -- but this doesn't seem a worthy reason to keep trotting Morel out there. And clearly Vizquel is no better. My own view would be to bring up Dayan Viciedo to play 3B. He could also play some OF and DH, but the one place he'd make the most difference offensively would be 3B. We'd lose a little defensively, but we still need more offense, and Viciedo would be a significant upgrade. Morel is very underwhelming and has braincramps all the time.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 07:24 PM) And he's one of the better prospects the Sox have developed the past 10 years. So if you really want to see the White Sox rebuild and think the offense can't be worse, think 6 or 7 Brent Morels around bad contracts like Dunn and Rios. That is why the whole regime top to bottom has to go.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 07:16 PM) Shouldn't have listened to his coach. A no hit 3b with very limited upside is why.................he has a s***load of braincramps all year long.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 07:04 PM) Stewart genuinely seemed a little nervous around Thome there. I wouldn't blame him. He knows he has to throw a shutout.
