I’ll be updating this forum about the development of the players to compare them.

Update on the players.

Morlan looking like the right choice.

I don't think either was a bad pick but I would love to have Morlan on my team.

I might rather have a legit defensive SS with an 850 OPS than a RF with a 1000 OPS (which is how I see them developing)... it's close. They should both be in the Hall of Fame when they retire.

Given that he will also contribute a bit on the bases, Morlan might be the best offensive prospect I've seen.

What do you think Morlan will get too?

Something like: 100 contact, 96 power, 75 VsL, 100 VsR, 75 eye. His speed is 72, and his BR should get to low 80's, which will make him a secondary base stealing threat if your team runs at least an average amount.

For me I'm ok with pure defense at SS even if it means the guy is hitting .200 with an on base of .250-.300. I feel like I'd put Corban somewhere that I'd want a bigger bat anyways like 3B. Don't get me wrong, he'd be an A+++ third baseman, but the way I set up my teams is above average D down the middle and then sub par D on the corners but with big bats.

Being 21 I don't think Morlan has quite the upside dedleman is saying but I would say 93 contact, 95 power, VsR could reach 95, with an eye of 70. I'd take that player on any of my teams in a second.

ADVICE: Keep your medical high. With a health of 60 you don't want this guy breaking and costing you a bunch of points. He alone is worth the extra money each year.
