Message: [QUOTE="MarkyMark, post: 4656930, member: 12210"] Yeah, I think one thing I underestimated with Morton is his natural baseball instincts. I feel they are a bit below average. A few examples are his baserunning, 50/50 popups where most of the time he's willing to let Padilla take charge and his CF play. He just has to think about things a bit more. Just doesn't flow to him as easily. To mostly offset this is his natural physical gifts notably his speed. Can't teach that. To your point, he's probably not a .411 hitter but should be hitting higher than .296. Probably in the lower end of that range. Re: Smitty - Don't forget the draft is only 20 rounds now. Under the current format, a lot of Uconn guys would not have been drafted (e.g. Reggie out of high school). The old format he probably would have been in addition to Daniels. etc. [/QUOTE]
