Area for Improvement? Marlins First Baseman Justin Bour

One of the few silver linings to the 2015 Miami Marlin season was the surprise performance of Justin Bour. Bour (27) officially assumed cold-corner duties after free agent signing Michael Morse had a horrific start (and end) to his Marlins career (.213/.276/.313 in 174 PAs). Morse would be shipped off to the Dodgers along with Mat Latos (presumably the inclusion of Cat Latos being the major selling point in the deal); the next day Morse would be sent to the Pirates – ostensibly to follow in the footsteps of former Marlins first baseman, “All Star” Gaby Sanchez.
