Morrison couldn't buy a hit during the first month of the season. He hit .100 in April, prompting Rays fans from everywhere to criticize the team's management for bringing him aboard and cutting loose James Loney.

Since April, Morrison has quieted the peanut gallery. All he's done is rake.

He hit .351 in May, and after four games in June, he's hitting .375 with two homers and four RBIs. In addition, he has hit safely in 17 of his last 19 games.

"We made difficult decisions at the end of Spring Training for this club and this organization," Rays manager Kevin Cash said.
