Fantasy Analysis
Fantasy owners might have forgotten that Morrison was a first-base prospect in the minors before Sanchez emerged as the team's starting first baseman. If Morrison adds first-base eligibility in Fantasy, then that will just add to his value. However, he needs to pick up the pace offensively. Morrison is batting just .170 in May and is still getting days off to rest his balky knee. Morrison remains a low-end Fantasy start until he picks up the pace. (Updated 05/20/2012).

Logan Morrison began his 2011 season by saying -- or was it tweeting? -- that he expected to hit more home runs than he did as a rookie, and he certainly delivered, boosting his total from two to 23. But that doesn't mean the 24-year-old's sophomore season was a complete success. A sprained foot put him in a cast in late April, interrupting a fantastic start to the season, and though he returned in less than a month, he wasn't quite the same player, lacking the stellar plate discipline that made him such a sleeper to begin with as his batting average dipped to the .240s. And then, there was the tweeting. The Marlins haven't exactly embraced his prolific use of Twitter, especially given his willingness to speak his mind. Between that and the disappointing batting average, Morrison had to serve a 10-day sentence in the minor leagues last August -- a shocking demotion that still leaves some wondering if the Marlins are all-in on the 24-year-old. Given his patient approach and emerging power, Morrison clearly has the tools to become a high-end Fantasy outfielder, but because he slipped in some areas last year, he'll likely be available beyond the top 40 outfielders. Is he a value at that point? Perhaps, but he also had arthroscopic knee surgery in the offseason that has limited his availability this spring. If you draft him, understand that he comes with some risks. (Updated 3/27/12)
