Morneau: Injured, slumping or just plain sucking?

[KronJon]

I'm not surprised at all. This is what I expected from Morneau and it's exactly why I don't draft him.

SOmetimes a guy just gets hyped too much... He's got the physical tools to wow us occassionally with a major dinger, but maybe he doesn't have the head to become a better hitter... so you're stuck with a guy just above the Mendoza line who hits 30 dingers... THese guys often wind up being platoon players.

Hope that's not the case but it wouldn't be the first time.

I didn't buy him as a sleeper last year. And he went a bit early for me this year. But now I'm going to try and trade for him. The time and price seem right.

(I just offered my worst offensive player for him. Sure, I'd hate losing Tru, but what can I do?)
