Esquire profies Logan Morrison and his tweeting:

Fans love him, because at a time when robotic, overhandled athletes try to keep their adoring fans at a distance, Morrison is doing a stage dive. There was a Facebook campaign to get him on the All-Star team this year, and after his demotion his Twitter support ballooned.

I tried to reach Morrison — via Twitter — after his demotion, but predictably he fell silent. One thing didn’t change, though: With or without Morrison, the Florida Marlins are baseball’s forgotten, irritating franchise, with no fans, no history, and, annoyingly, two World Series championships in the last fifteen years. He’s as frustrated with the very concept of the Marlins as they are with him. At the end of our conversation — he was in New York to play the Mets — I asked him if he had to fly back to Florida after that night’s game. “Yep,” he sighed. “Back to the shithole.” It was the kind of jab he’d throw on Twitter. No way the front office is gonna shut him up. No, the worst they can do is ban him from the shithole, send him to the minors, and see if anyone still listens to him.

More likely, they trade him.

It’s interesting to me that with the Morrison tweeting problem, they hire Ozzie Guillen, known to run his mouth, and also in the center of a twitter controversy. With stories out there of Ozzie wanting to bring in Carlos Zambrano, there’s going to be as much coverage as this team’s quotes as of their ball games. Of course, if the team turns into the Oakland A’s of the early 1970s, maybe that’s not such a bad thing.
