Werth started his career slow but has taken off lately. Both are similarly built. Morse is 3 years younger. I like how he hits and I think with a little more exposure (playing time) he can become Werth-like. I like him for right field. What do you guys think?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-55384315769441170572010-03-21T21:54:33.437-04:002010-03-21T21:54:33.437-04:00Will Bernardina and Maxwell both end up at AAA wit...Will Bernardina and Maxwell both end up at AAA with Willy in right and Wily as the 4th outfielder?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-27334836842225979642010-03-21T21:50:20.316-04:002010-03-21T21:50:20.316-04:00So Bernadina is batting .250 in his effort to beco...So Bernadina is batting .250 in his effort to become the starting RF.<br />Ain't that about the same as former Nat Elijah Dukes?

That seems to be the way things are headed.<br /><br />I think English makes this team over Burnett. Both he and Capps have had problems from the beginning of spring.

I love that he had a 5 inning / 75 pitch target, and he finished up the 5 innings in only 60 pitches and so had to go to the pen to throw 15 more.<br /><br />He pitches to contact, which is becoming more and more rare nowadays. And it sounds like Mock, and even Strasburg, are doing the same thing.Sunderlandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-80668034594924706542010-03-21T17:45:22.906-04:002010-03-21T17:45:22.906-04:00I'd say Maxwell is about running out of chance...I'd say Maxwell is about running out of chances (which is too bad, he's really a great kid). But if Bernardina can continue to hit .250 or above and contribute something offensively, considering his speed and defensive skills, I'd say he's not a terrible choice to start in right field. If nothing else, barring a last-minute trade or signing (of Jermaine Dye?), if you send both Maxwell and Bernardina to Syracuse, who do you put out in RF? Morse? Harris?Steven J.
