Christopher Morel

[Rob V]

Anyone else just disgusted to see Christopher Morel still being sent out there to man 1B while Augustine Ramirez has been demoted to AAA to improve as a catcher? First off, Morel couldn't even hit spring training pitchers as he was way below the Mendoza line all spring. His advertised power has been non-existent throughout his strike-out filled audition starting at 1B. His bat didn't even wake up at the Trop vs his old team when he was placed in the clean-up spot! His strikeouts have been some of the most embarrassing swings I have witnessed from a major league baseball player, simply overmatched at this level. I don't care what he did in 2023-24, we got another Avi Garcia here! Drop him like it's hot and give Ramirez a quick training on how to play 1B in AAA. BTW, this should have happened in the spring guys. Norby has done a fine job at 1B and can hold it down with Hicks until Gus is ready to come back up. Any version of Gus is an 100% improvement on this dud Morel who needs to be DFA'd asap! Throw another 2M in the trash.  🗑
