Morrison agreed to a one-year, $2.725 million contract with the Mariners on Friday, avoiding arbitration.
Analysis:
Morrison finished 2014 with a solid batting line (.262/.315/.420), adding 11 home runs over 99 games and 365 plate appearances with the Mariners. His walk rate dropped dramatically in 2014 (from 11.4% to 6.6%), which led to a lower overall on-base percentage. However, he figures to be the undisputed starting first baseman for the Mariners heading into 2015, which could lead to a lot more at-bats if he can remain healthy.
