- One man's Nationals roster guess and links
Left a recap of my Why Olsen, why not Mock tirade here.
So instead of reprinting that, how about a rebuttal of the Mike Morse=Jayson Werth comment.
Eerily similar major league numbers through the same age. Hmmmm.
Werth was always considered a good athlete even for a catcher. Morse must be and OK athlete since he started as a shortstop and even made the bigs as a shortstop.
Slg percentages pretty equal up and down the dial too.
BIG DIFFERENCE: Morse's career minor league .329 OBP. I'll give him the .353 OBP in parts of 4 AAA seasons. But I will note that this is LOWER than Werth's lowest OBP (.355 in 4 AAA seasons) and well below Werth's .369 career minor league OBP.
Werth has the additional skill of getting on base, that's what will separate him from Morse.
On a positive note, let's hope the traditional opening week losing streak is being taken care of already. Get the massive losing streak out of the way now so it doesn't happen in early Arpil like usual.
