But if he comes back mid August he can help us in time for the playoff push.

And imagine if he could get hot for September the way he did last year. It's easy to remember how bad he looked this year and naturally jump to the conclusion that he's terrible, but I think he still deserves another full shot if he gets to a point where he's 100% healthy, because he earned it with the way he played down the stretch last year. He looked like a totally different (dangerous) hitter.

If Morel does get healthy he better learn to play some SS and 2B and try to make the majors as a utility player.

Low OBP, low power, no speed guys are worthless if not versatile.
