June 25, 200520 yr The guy had another 3 hit game tonight. He's hitting .406 on the season since being called up. 25 hits in 66 at bats. The guy is quite simply in a groove and I'm glad he's having success in Seattle, but too bad for the Pale Hose to lose a young player like that at a 'need' position in my mind. I don't know if he'll be able to stay this consistent, even to a .300 level at the major league level, but he is obviously doing something right. Another good prospect that slipped through the cracks I guess, but every organization has a few of those out there so its not really that bad.

He's a young talented defender with a decent enough bat. It's hard to find SS's around the league that are better than Uribe, and if Mike Morse turns out to be better then so be it. Uribe is our guy, nor Morse and we currently have a record that Seattle would cream their pants over. Best of luck to Morse, here's to hoping he doesn't kill us in the future, but the man is a Mariner and not a White Sox.
June 25, 200520 yr Freddy Garcia completely annihilates the Flubs and you bring up Mike Morse? Jesus...

June 25, 200520 yr People need to realize, the best trades you can make are the trades that benefits both sides of the deal. Teams would be hesitant to deal with us if our prospects in deals were always busts. It is good to see Reed and Morse doing well.

It is good to see Reed and Morse doing well. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And keep in mind that we gave them a bust of a catcher. If Olivo wasn't traded to the Mariners, we wouldn't have AJ right now.
June 25, 200520 yr the bottom line in all of this.... acquiring quality starting pitching is gonna cost you. Freddy hasnt even pitched to his ability for us yet... and he's 7-3 wth a respectable ERA.... we have 2 more years after this one... i dig
June 25, 200520 yr I saw Morse play live a few weeks ago. He's an absolute butcher in the field and probably belongs at 3B or even in the outfield. He wasn't even hitting well in AA, so if he keeps it up, I'll be surprised. But, if he does turn out to be a great hitting shortstop, I can't blame Kenny Williams. He certainly showed no signs of it in the Sox organization. And, to tell you the truth, he really didn't show signs of it in the Mariners organization.

You can't really blame him though. He's 6'4", 220 pounds and he's playing SS.

And with Carlos Lee doing well in MIL, teams should see that KW isn't going to screw the other teams in a trade. that should make more GM's willing to deal w/ KW in the future [hopefully very near future].

Lee is exactly what Milwaukee needed and is lighting it up, Pods is awesome, Vizcaino is spotty at best and with the $$$ we saved by trading Lee, we also got 7-2 Orlando Hernandez!!!

June 25, 200520 yr SS is not a position of need. We have Uribe there, no room to complain about him. He's better than Morse will be anyday of the week.
June 25, 200520 yr I refuse to bring up past players, prospects, potential players, or anything otherwise when MY TEAM IS FREAKING 50-22!! But good for Morse.
June 25, 200520 yr Wasn't Jeremy Reed on a hot hitting streak last year? Let's see if these guys can handle MLB for a few years let alone a few weeks. In the meantime I'm glad we've got Freddy who is turning into quite a Cub killer thank you.
June 25, 200520 yr i enjoy watching the mariners to watch past sox prospects like morse and reed and for a little olivo.... i guess thats the same reason I like to watch the pirates for Kip Wells and Josh Fogg... and Perez just because he is filthy
