That's why I'm open to dealing him in the offseason if a team with a pitching surplus is enamored with him. There just isn't a history of guys having sustained success while striking out a third of the time. If he could play decent defense absolutely keep him, but when nearly all his value comes from his bat, that's far too scary a scenario for me to rely on him as a long term fixture. If the Mariners said hey, we like Morel, what else would you package with him for Logan Gilbert, I'd happily pack Chris's bags.
