Description: Seattle outfielder Michael Morse has picked up where he left off in spring by crushing four homers in his first four games this season. | Insight: Morse knocked nine out of the park during spring training.

Description: After going deep Wednesday, Seattle outfielder Michael Morse now has eight homers this spring. | Insight: Morse hit .303 with 31 homers for Washington in 2011 but a lat strain limited him to 102 games last season.

Fantasy owners shouldn't be scared off by Safeco Field; the Mariners moved in the fences in left and left-center field and Morse has big-time power anyway. The eight spring homers are a sign that he is elevating the ball again. | | |
