That and the fact that Morneau is just as likely to put up a 700 OPS as an 800 at this point in his career.
You really need to be at 775-825 to be a plus for your team at the DH position...unless he could play 1B 4-5 times per week at a higher level defensively than Abreu, you're only going to get a 10-15% improvement on Avisail Garcia's potential production.
That's a certain recipe for another .500ish team. If the primary goal is to save money/increase profitability, sure, makes sense I guess.
Morneau won't be subbing at 1B fircAbreu more than a couple games a week.chose can benefit from the rest but will play the field
