He had 30 home runs and 100 RBI in 2009. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Justin_Morneau/596854 596854 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 13:24:01 EDT fanball.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Justin_Morneau/596854 Justin Morneau had a bone chip removed from his wrist Tuesday.

At no point were his run-producing skills displayed more than down the stretch, when the veteran run producer took over first-base duties for an injured Justin Morneau and delivered 10 homers and 29 homers from September on. Returning to right field next year, Cuddyer should be good for 80-plus RBIs in his envious role serving as protection for Morneu and Joe Mauer. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Justin_Morneau/588045 588045 Sat, 17 Oct 2009 10:00:58 EDT mlb.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Justin_Morneau/588045 Morneau looked determined to make another run at AL MVP during the first half, cruising into the All-Star Morneau looked determined to make another run at AL MVP during the first half, cruising into the All-Star break batting .311 with 21 homers and 70 ribbies. But for the third straight year, the sweet-swinging lefty faded down the stretch, posting a paltry .201 average with a .402 slugging percentage. Still, the positives outweigh the negatives. Having made great strides against southpaw pitchers, the 28-year-old Morneau remains one of the game's premier run producers, capable of a .300 average, 30 homers and 120 RBIs next year. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Justin_Morneau/587901 587901 Sat, 17 Oct 2009 2:44:14 EDT mlb.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Justin_Morneau/587901 La Velle E.
