April 30, 20188 yr It’s rare for players to drop off a cliff. I think he’ll hit. Every player drops off a cliff. Morrison is at the age where it can start. He has hit very well over the past week. Hopefully he's in a groove now.

April 30, 20188 yr I don't think one "starts" to drop off a cliff. Perhaps you're thinking of "decline."I guess if you have a harness you might.
April 30, 20188 yr It’s rare for players to drop off a cliff. I think he’ll hit. Morrison climbed that same cliff in a hurry having his best season at 29. He's going to get better but it's possible last year was the fluke season.

He's going to get better but it's possible last year was the fluke season.It's more than possible, last year was the fluke. But, that was known/expected. His salary/contract reflects that he was paid based on an expectation of pre-2017 production.

May 1, 20188 yr Really?Josh WillinghamJason KubelJoe MaysHarmon Killebrew(Insert 90% of the names in the baseball universe below)Perhaps what we have here is a misunderstanding over terminology. "Drop off a cliff" = go from one established production level to a much, much lower permanent level in one season. "decline" = gradually go from one production level to a much lower level over the course of several seasons. I stand by my statement: few players actually "drop off a cliff." Most "decline." I guess of the above you could say Kubel did. Joe Mays had an obvious fluke season, then was injured and never match that level. I guess that's dropping off a cliff, but injury related drop offs aren't what we're talking about. In the specific case of Logan Morrison, I also don't believe it's likely he's "dropped off a cliff" and will never get back to something resembling his previous MLB career.

"decline" = gradually go from one production level to a much lower level over the course of several seasons. We have the same definition. I would say we have a difference of opinion, but that's not right either.Let's just say one of us looked at data. Edited May 1, 20188 yr by Doomtints
