The Orioles are showing strong interest in free-agent OFer Michael Morse (Signs w/Marlins)

Should have kept him last year. The guy certainly has power, and should be a low risk for the money.

Who do you bump? I don't think he would have settled for Delmon's role.

Pepper Leach: "Wish we had him two years ago".

Charlie Donovan: "We did."

When his wrist needed ligament surgery.

In the past he has hated DHing. Its hard to believe that as a free agents he would sign on for a DH job.

Half the job opportunities when you are just a DH. Saying you want to play in the field is a wise business choice.

Dr. Richard Berger did Morse a huge solid in October by finding the source of an impingment that not only sent pain shooting up his left arm but prevented him from straightening his wrist. Morse is not shy about blaming the injury for his awful 2013 season with the Mariners and Orioles – a .215 average and .651 OPS.

Morse jammed the wrist early in the season while sliding and team doctors could not locate the precise injury. He even was told it might be in his head.

Former Nationlals teammate Mark DeRosa, the ex-Giant, convinced Morse he might have the same injury that derailed DeRosa’s career, a torn sheath tendon. One day DeRosa grabbed Morse’s wrist, pressed hard in one spot and asked, “Does that hurt?”

Morse screamed in pain and DeRosa said, “Oof, I had that. Look at me now.”

This guy plays great in the post season too.

Sign Morse and Gomes. All will be well.

Don't get me wrong, as long as the contract was reasonable I'd be happy with him as our DH.

[weams]

He is always hurt.

They made him play in the field.

[weams]

Might.

Probably.

Might not.

Might go up. Might like Camden Yards. Nelson did.

Nelson hit better on the road last season.

OPACY was not a hitters park.

He should not own a glove. His WAR would increase. Look at oWAR, when he had two wrists.

If he is 100% healthy, not playing D, and we can get him with a frugal 2 year deal - hey why not sign the "Beast of the AL East..." :thumbsup1:

Take on me.

I like it. So long as he's willing to play DH, and almost always DH.

For the sake of accuracy, Cruz OPS at home was .783. On the road, .930. 25 homers on the road, 15 at OPACY.

That said, I've heard from my sources that Nelson did really like Camden Yards. According to his intimates he's quite the aesthete, and it's well known that all aesthetes love Camden Yards (AALCY).

So weams was right.

I bet Flaherty could kick his ass.

He might be able too. He did the Brady.
