The Book on Logan Morrison

Logan Morrison
Born 8/25/1987
1B, FLA

One of the last draft-and follow picks in baseball, hulking Logan Morrison is a graduate of Albert Pujol's old community college in Missouri. With a quick inside-out swing and plus power. He destroyed high-A Jupiter in 2008 but stumbled a bit when faced with better pitching at AA Jacksonville in 2009 (.277/.411/.442). He's got reasonable speed, but his lack of glovely finesse and some limited mobility have him locked at first base for now. That's a shame since he has a cannon arm that will go to waste there: we'd prefer seeing him in right field. Either way, though, expect Florida's own Weapon X to get a long, long look in the bigs as early as 2010.

Player Updates and Notes

A broken wrist will end Logan Morrison's chances at a quick promotion to the Marlins, where he hoped to wrestle away the starting 1B job. Wrist injuries are notoriously slow to come back from, so we don't expect Logan to have much impact until 2010 now.
