MIKE MORSE RUMORS & GOSSIP
#44: Is Mike Morse a legit top 10 outfielder?
Michael Morse is one of the few players hyped over the last few years who actually has panned out. Jason Heyward must be very jealous.
Morse was a big sleeper heading into last year, and rightfully so. He finished 2010 with 15 home runs, 41 RBI and a .289 batting average in 266 at bats.
Even though he struggled out of the gate early in 2011, he put things together towards...

Player Profile #100: Mike Morse | 1B/OF | WAS
Last March I wrote this about Mike Morse: “Assuming 500 at-bats, which I think is reasonable, we could be looking at a 20-homer, 80-RBI season with a good batting average coming from a widely undrafted player.” Morse ended up getting 522 at-bats, put up a “good” .303 average (and a .288 xBA, which is more what I expected) but crushed my power projections....

The Cool Story of Michael Morse
Close your eyes if you will and picture Michael Morse in your head. Got it? Okay, does that look like a shortstop? No, right? But that's what he was drafted as way back in 2000 (third round by the White Sox) and that's where he played his first six years of his ten-year minor league career. The easiest thing to state in this entire piece will be that Michael Morse doesn...

Nationals Extend Mike Morse, Fall Out Of Fielder Race?
The Washington Nationals today announced a two-year extension for first baseman/left fielder Mike Morse, buying out his final two arbitration years. Morse will still become a free agent after the 2013 season as he was initially able to, but does the signing take the Nationals out of the running for free agent first baseman and former Milwaukee Brewer Prince Fielder?
With Morse...

Forecasting the next Mike Morse
The business of In Some Depth is generally to monitor the 30 major-league clubs' respective depth charts and to call attention to position battles or playing-time changes on said clubs.

Photo: Mike Morse’s Black-Tie Mullet
You may have read about the Nats’ Dream Foundation gala on the Bog, or seen these pics from Miss Chatter and Cheryl Nichols. What really must be seen, though, is Mike Morse’s hair (via @cnichols14):
Not sure what’s happening there, but a fancy mullet appears to be involved. Chris and I took it from there in GChat:
me: that pic + snappy headline = blog post.
me: got headline...

Cracking the Morse Code
Mike Morse has been a beast since last season, so what else does he have to do to be in left field everyday. I sit here and ponder thoughts after reading different opinions about this situation. Seattle ditched him because he would not lay off the sliders, and now he has developed a terrific plate presence and approach. This guy could be an all star if he continues on his current...

Be Like Mike!
(Photo of TV/MASN by Nationals Enquirer Staff. Mike Morse stands on second base following his 6th inning, pinch hit, 2 run double which broke a 2-2 tie and proved to be the game winner.)
"I was a Marlins fan. Oh, yeah. When we could, we'd come to Marlins games when I was a kid. And like what I said with my family here, it felt good to play in front...

Mike Morse, Utility Infielder
Uhh.. no.
Even since Mike Morse burst onto the scene a couple years ago there has been a ridiculous amount of unjustified Mike Morse love. With every Spring Training and every injury there is a large contingent of people that think Morse is the guy the M’s need to carry with that 25th spot.
I like Mike [...]
