Logan Morrison (1B/OF, SEA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Morrison has had a tough time sticking in the lineup in his career, mostly due to injuries and defense that can charitably be referred to as a traveshamockery. In his lone season with at least 500 plate appearances, however, he hit 23 […]
