Admittedly, I never thought about Nyjer Morgan until last week, when someone posted a question asking about his value for steals.  

Last year Morgan played in 58 games with the Bucs, garnering a line of:

.294 Avg, 0 HR, 7 RBI, 9 SB (5 CS), .345 OBP, .375 SLG (720 OPS)

Hardly memorable. However, this season he has matched his performance total for all of last season and may be beginning to look like a Fantasy Baseball sleeper batting:

.410 Avg, 0 HR, 8 RBI, 3 SB, .439 OBP , .564 SLG ( 1.003 OPS) in his first 9 games.

Until Andrew McCutchen forces Nate McLouth to left field, Morgan might be a nice 4th OF option in deeper fantasy leagues.
