Michael Morse is a journeyman Outfielder who never seemed to get a shot at being the starter until last season when the Nationals gave him the starting nod in the second half of the season. He certainly responded, hitting 15 home runs in just 266 at bats. Many owners were high on Morse, hoping he could put up the same production with everyday at-bats. He didn’t respond at the beginning of this season with just one home run going into the month of May. Many owners gave up on him but he has been on fire during the month of May. In May Morse had 6 home runs 15 RBI’s and a .403 batting average.
Morse looks like he has put it together this last month and I see no reason why he wouldn’t be able to continue his production. Don’t expect him to hit .400 for the rest of the season but I see him finishing with a .280 average and about 25-30 home runs. He’ll have his cold streaks from time to time that will drive owners crazy but I think if you stay patient, you’ll be rewarded.
