Logan Morrison - A Pirate?

Can’t imagine the Pirates would tolerate such a prolific Twitterer, especially when the tweets mock management.

I’d take Morrison in a miniute, rabble-rouser or not. He’s smart and articulate, and an extremely talented player to boot.

I wonder what the Marlins would want in return?

Florida Marlins left fielder Logan Morrison has filed a grievance against his team for what he believes was a wrongful demotion last month.

Enough read, please no cancer here.

I believe any team would find it easier to accommodate a jagoff like Hanley Ramirez than it would an aware individual who knows and is willing to defend his individual rights and who will take personal economic risks in order to defend the collective rights he shares with others

I understand what you’re saying, and many managers probably share your philosophy. But I suspect that traits like laziness and immaturity are harder to “correct” than someone who is, as you say “aware” and articulate and simply disagrees with team policy.

Seems like someone could befriend Mr. Morrison and politely explain to him “Look, we love your individuality, but let’s use that in a way to promote the team, rather than work against our interests.”

I dunno. I’d rather reason with a smart guy who I disagree with than try to badger a moron.

off their hands in a heartbeat if the price was right.

and I’d be for him treating the Bucs FO the EXACT same way should they fail to violate his rights under the collective bargaining agreement. Labor is a much more valuable commodity than capital and I’d always support any instance of labor sticking it to capital … those who do v. those who invest and control what those who do, do. One of the biggest failings of our society is that moving money makes too much money. Here’s one more example of capital trying to put upstart labor in its place.

170games -20.6 UZR just 1.9 WAR

I think it’s safe to say he should be playing 1B, which severely limits his value and market. Who would be interested?
LAD have Loney who has actually bounced back a bit this year but still looks like a non-tender candidate.
The Giants need a bat but doubtful they give up on Belt just yet.
The Cubs and Rays both have FA-to be 1B that they would like to bring back but could also show interest.
The Orioles and Mariners would seem to be interested even with Smoak out in Seattle and a potential Mary Reynolds move on the way.
Daric Barton has fallen off a cliff for the A’s and it just smells like a Beane move so I won’t rule them out either.

Basically, I don’t see nearly as big a market as people seem to be suggesting. I’m sure a few of the AL teams would jump in due to his versatility to DH or spot start in COF as well but when you add in being a malcontent, his price shouldn’t be too high. A RP, back end SP prospect and maybe another C – C+ guy.

I believe he got in ab argument, behind closed doors, with Hanley about his lateness to practice. Link. Link.

Sounds like he may actually care. I kinda like the guy.

As a twitter all-star myself, i can tell that LoMo is a legit dude and IS NOT a clubhouse cancer. dude can read and is witty and stuff. I think I try to go GFJ and Alex Presley maybe a pitcher of Rudy Owens ilk and try to get LoMo and one of those good underappreciated Marlins relievers. LoMo at 1B makes all the sense in the world to me. Obviously a trade like that would be a huge win for us but the Marlins might do something stupid because of his continued “misbehavior”

he is out of position in LF and he went out there for the good of the team. So obviously he is not a selfish jagoff

If Morrison and his left-handed stick were available then the Pirates should definitely make an offer. He is very yound and would be an outstanding addition to the Pirates.
