Buyer beware. One good season surrounded by many marginal seasons means he’s not your savior M’s.

And if not, would he be willing to add something else to his repetoire?

Going to an inferior rebuilding team, with no lineup protection and a pitchers park doesnt bode well for getting another top tier contract after thats one up.

I mean, who’s hot and who’s heavy?

The Rangers may yet give him 3 years, but I get the sense that a 2-year deal with the Nats is still possible.

As for Morse, the Mariners have some young pitching, and might be a trade partner. Same question as with the Rays, though. Would the Mariners absorb the big pay raise Morse will likely get in 2014?

His brother Andy was a good defensive 3B, but couldn’t hit.

If so, the Phillies should give him a call.

I hope Morse is good for them, anyway, just so they can feel better about the whole situation. But man, how often do you see teams chase guys they let go for peanuts a few years ago?

He’s streaky as hell and nothing special.

Bet it’s going to take a little more than just Ryan Langerhans to get that deal done this time. :)

This is not surprising. 2012 was a good year for him, but not that far out of line with his career.
