I agree with you that he is one of the best 2B ever, and I feel like OOTP criminally under rates Roberto Alomar (at least to my eye/memory test), so I was really sorry to let him go.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I was looking at the 100 Morgan. I really really wanted to see how that card would perform at the plate. But I wondered if his glove was just too terrible to allow him to play in the field and so I chickened out and didn't get him when I had the chance. I realize he's going to be bad in the field but on the whole is using him at 2B a plus or minus? FYI, this would be for a theme team so I don't expect the team to consistently (ever?) compete in Perfect against whales.
Also, has anyone tried him at DH? Seems like he'd do great there (of course, that opens up another can of worms, as he'd then be competing against all sorts of other hitters for that spot).
