Michael Morse (1B/OF, MIA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues

OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Morse has never really had the supporting cast and talent around him that he does now in Miami. Outfielders Giancarlo Stanton, Christian Yelich, Marcell Ozuna, and newly acquired Dee Gordon make the Marlins lineup solid. Morse will bring a veteran presence to a young team looking to make an impact and make the playoffs in 2015. Hitting in the middle of a talented lineup could be just the fit for Morse. The ability to play 1B and OF will also help his flexibility for the Marlins and for your fantasy teams.

You would think that a journeyman would feel unwanted in the eyes of many. But in a lot of cases, those players play with a chip on their shoulder. Michael Morse is no exception to that rule. Playing for his 5th team in 4 seasons, Morse has seen his fair share of moving expenses trying to find the right fit for his talent. After finding his groove in 2011 with the Washington Nationals (31 HR and 95 RBI), he hasn't been able to put up the same type of production since. The Miami Marlins came calling this offseason and offered the 34-year-old a two year 16 million dollar deal to make him a big part of their offense.

The power numbers should be there for Morse if he can stay healthy, and you can expect a solid return on your investment as a waiver wire pickup/stash to see how he start out of the gate. This decision does not need an owner to decipher this code -- go get Morse. He is a low risk add, with decently high upside if things play out.
