One of my favorite experiences during the year I did color for the Express involved Ensberg. We were in SA, and I was sitting on the on-field bullpen bench watching BP. Ensberg finished his round of cuts, lapped the bases, then came to the bench and sat down by me. I asked if he was going to winter ball. He said yes, and talked for a good ten minutes about the role of winter ball in his development. Most of it was not about hitting or fielding but rather was about learning to be a professional baseball player. Morgan is likable, intelligent, thoughtful, analytical, and articulate. My bet is this role is made for him, and he will be very successful in it.
