Behr: Mortons Electric Feel

MGMT

Charlie Morton’s winter ball stats with Toros del Este of the Dominican League:
0-1, 1.80 ERA, 3 GS, 15.0 IP, 2 BB, 14 SO, 0.87 WHIP, .200 AVG

Morton’s game log:
4.0 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 5 SO
5.0 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 4 SO
6.0 IP, 6 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 5 SO

It’s a small sample size, but definitely an improvement from what Morton posted
with the Pirates in 2010 (7.57 ERA, 1.73 WHIP, .332 AVG). He’ll compete with
Brad Lincoln this spring for a rotation spot.
