Michael+Morse

According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports and Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, the Marlins and Michael Morse have agreed to terms on a two year deal.

Morse, 32, spent last season with the world champion San Francisco Giants and batted .279 with a .336 on-base and .475 slugging, with 16 home runs, 61 RBI and a .348 BABIP.

In his ten year career, Morse is a .281/.335/.473 hitter, and will join a Marlins team that has already added a lot of talent this winter, including Dee Gordon, Mat Latos and Dan Haren.

Morse primarily played outfield in years past, but it is believed that the Marlins plan is to move him to first base, a much more suitable position for Morse.
