SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Michael Morse knew this spring comeback attempt with the Giants would go one of two ways.
“It was either I have a good spring and make the team, or I realize that I need to get out of here and go home,” Morse said. “There was no in between.”
Life took a third path. Morse had a great spring, and then he pulled his hamstring. He was in line to win a job as a right-handed pinch hitter and occasional left fielder. Now he’s out of contention. But he proved enough to himself, and he agreed to keep the dream alive a bit longer.
