Whether or not Christopher Morel could be a well-above average defensive 2nd baseman (and I believe he could become one in time), count me with DaveP as believing Morel could bring one helluva lot of value to the Cubs in the future.
There's a GOOD reason Brennen Davis and his buds at Iowa called Morel "The Electric Show." His tools are about as loud as Javy's at age 22/23.
Elite arm - at one point in the season, his arm rated among the strongest in MLB - 96mph average on all field throws, at least at one point.
Very fast - he was among the top outfield guys in pure sprint speed (up there with Buxton and Trout), but his anticipation and 1st step were not considered CF-ready (though his closing speed was excellent).
Light-tower power - we all saw the power he produced and when he squared it up, his exit velos have been in the 110 area.
While his BA and OBP etc were way down in the 2nd half, the league adjusted and some wear down would be expected as he's still raw for MLB and doesn't turn 24 until late June.
Morel may not be able to continually adapt and become a plus regular at any position; however, his tools are LOUD and there's almost NO WAY Cubs should trade him at this point! His upside potential is HIGH at some position (it's easy to see him at 3rd or 2nd), if he can't Zobrist.
And, about as important as anything else, by all accounts C Morel is a GREAT teammate! And, in the MLB's long season, that really matters, too!
