I would consider it on a team friendly deal to play LF. I think he'll be able to convince a team in to giving him more than what I'm willing to pay though.
I actually don't hate the idea but someone will pay him like he's a top notch player because of the homers when in reality he's a mediocre player despite hitting 47 homers due to low OBP, poor defense (although at 1B he's not as bad), etc.
I love his versatility an ability to provide 3-WAR play at SS and 2B should Tulo or Travis get hurt.
The problem is that his main position would be LF and he doesn't have the greatest bat there. He also costs a draft pick.
The douchiness is a double edged sword IMO; it's not all bad.
It gave us the bat flip and the subsequent Rangers sweep- that storyline might be the best thing the Jays have had since winning the 93 WS. It also produced all those run-ins with the Orioles. Who almost gets beaned and then in the same AB hits a dinger and tells the other team to kiss his ass as he rounds the bases? He did that multiple times too. That might not ever happen again. I'll miss him.
I think this FO also values the theory that a bird in hand is better than two in the bush. Especially when you've got a lot of holes to fill. You wait around for better options or even the perfect option and sometimes they can all dry up. Last year they struck early by signing Happ.
Kaufmann Field suppresses home runs a lot. It's perennially near the bottom. RC is usually up toward the top. Morales can probably expect about 10% more home runs or so based upon park factor alone? (I'm just eyeballing park factors don't take it to the bank.)
He's actually a good fit IMO. He's a solid hitter who is pretty balanced against both sides of the plate. He's just completely uninspiring because he can't play a position and he's old. If he came for dirt cheap I wouldn't hate it if it allowed to spend more money elsewhere.
