I don’t think Morse could play SS/2B and I wouldn’t want to find out.
Agree about the need for Mercer’s bat to come out of hibernation.

I believe he even has an option left(?) IMO: getting Freeze and a poor spring sealed his fate, at least to start the season.

Morse can also ‘fake it’ as you say, at 2B/SS/3B and was a SS much of his minors career along with 1B and Corner OF he should be kept. Not ideal defensively but in a pinch better than many options available especially if his bat comes back around to somewhere near his career average.

Back to Freese though.. The man has been solid his whole career and should be in the line up where ever possible. If Kang hasn’t lost much range and Mercer continues his early season slump trends.. his starting job could be in jeopardy.. I don’t like Kang at SS but If you NEED offense….
