No question. But some of that performance has to be laid at the feet of the defense, especially in the outfield, which was horrible. There should have been a better contingency plan for Gutierrez going down, which was all too predictable. And when your plan from the get go was to have Morse in left, then your CF going down is just a disaster waiting to happen, which it did.
As for Morales, I don't have a problem with his performance. As I said, I think it's fine to have one or two of those guys on the roster. The problem is when you start the season with all four of Morales, Montero, Morse, and Ibanez on your roster. At that point, you've basically made a tradeoff of defense and athleticism for dingers.
