Sub-Par Analysis

Quoth the Bard:

Is Nyger Morgan that much of a horse's patoot that the Nationals don't want a guy who does a decent job getting on and steals bases?

Unfortunately, his name is spelled "Nyjer."

Equally unfortunately, last year Morgan batted .253 and had a .319 OBP - hardly a "decent job." Struck out more than he walked. He did steal 34 bases, but he also got caught 17 times - second most in the Majors in 2010 (he got caught the most times in 2009).

So Morgan is a guy who can't get on base and is doesn't steal very well. Add in those 4 career home runs, and you have a sure-fire Borsch keeper!
