Franklin for some reason was brought back into the game after a rain delay.  It’s been ugly since then.

Got out of a bases loaded jam with no runs allowed, but he was all over the place.

I’d say Morel doesn’t have much else to do in AAA. They’re wasting ABs now.

He certainly isn’t going to learn how to cut his strikeouts when he has a 1.300 OPS right now (and actually, his K rate is around 25% which is about as good as it’s gonna get).

I agree, but what do you do with him if he is on the Major League roster?

If you're not going to bring up Mervis put him in CF and Bellinger at 1B.
