The Florida Marlins recall LF Logan Morrison
The Florida Marlins have recalled 24-year old starting LF Logan Morrison from AAA. He played in 6 games in AAA-ball for the Marlins after his demotion and he was 4 for 24 (.167 avg, .597 OPS) with 3 runs scored, 1 homer and 5 RBIs. Hopefully he learned his lesson about blasting Marlins’ management on twitter and through the media. Morrison played in 95 games earlier this year for the Marlins and he was 90 for 362 (.249 avg, .791 OPS) with 40 runs scored, 17 homers, 60 RBIs and 2 stolen bases. To make room on the roster for Morrison, the Marlins designated 33-year old lefty swinging outfielder DeWayne Wise. Wise played in 49 games for the Marlins this year and he was 16 for 67 (.239 avg, .546 OPS) with 6 runs scored, 0 homers, 5 RBIs and 4 stolen bases. The Marlins won’t miss Wise at all moving forward.
UPDATE: (8/26/2011) - The Marlins have lost DeWayne Wise on waivers to the Blue Jays.
