Fantasy Analysis
GM Neal Huntington said the 26-year-old Morgan will get a chance to play every day in Indianapolis. "I'm the type of guy that the more I'm out there, the better I'm going to get," Morgan said. "I just look at it as a positive, definitely not a negative." He has some speed and was actually competing with Nate McLouth for the everyday job this spring, as crazy as that sounds.
