Christopher Morel powers Cubs to victory over Pirates
by Craig Castriano | Cubs Correspondent | Mon, May 13th 9:29am EDT
Christopher Morel had a solid performance in the Cubs' narrow 5-4 win over the Pirates, going 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a bright spot in what has been a somewhat challenging season for Morel, who is hitting just .228 through 40 games. His power continues to be an asset, as evidenced by his ninth homer of the season, but his overall production has been hampered by a low BABIP of .235. Fantasy managers should note that while Morel's power numbers provide some value, his high strikeout rate and low batting average could be a drag on their team's overall performance. His ability to occasionally change the game with one swing makes him a potential boom-or-bust option in fantasy lineups.
