I don't think you can look at this as just EE vs. Morales either, I think you have to look at this as EE vs Morales, Pearce and a 1st round pick. You still could argue that waiting on EE would have still been better, and you might be right, I like the fact that Morales and Pearce make this team deeper and gives us more flexibility. We have a switch hitting power bat in Morales, and Pearce gives us positional flexibility. The 1st also gives another kick at the lottery.

Also when EE turned down 4x$20, there was every indication that he was going to get more than that on the open market. Every prediction I saw had him as $100m signing this season.
