Absolutely agree. Morgan didn't have the range in the field that Sandberg had but he was very good defensively. Sandberg's offensive statistics were amassed in Wrigley Field, clearly an advantage over the parks Morgan played in. In spite of this, Morgan was clearly a better offensive player than Sandberg. He also performed his best when the bright lights were on him. He shined in the clutch, and especially, in the post season.
