That same player could barely crack a .300 OBP coming from college in his first two seasons. That's not even the whole issue (though it does matter). The same guy plays the easiest position in the NL, is a below-average defender, is a terrible baserunner, etc. etc. All that adds up to something like -1.5 to -2 WAR per year (-7.5 runs position, -3-5 runs baserunning, and -3 to -7 runs on defense) . So if Morris is league average hitter, he's actually a near replacement level player. The takeaway lesson - you need to hit a LOT to be a great 1B prospect. How sure are we that Morris can hit? His tools aren't great, he's not particularly young, and he's so walk adverse that he has to hit .300 to support a good OBP. Give me a guy like Roache, who can be a very good defender in LF, OBP more, and hit for similar power. Give me a guy like Coulter, who isn't just interesting with the bat but also may end up playing the most valuable offensive position. Etc. Yeah, that too. I was just going to OBP because that was just the easiest argument I could make. I'd like Morris a whole lot more if he hit like Khris Davis has since turning pro (.294/.400/.513) but he's hit more like Brad Nelson with less OBP and more power.
