The Evil Player Program picked Mike Morse as the random player to review. Morse decided not to retire before the 2017 season and the Giants called him up in late April. At the end of May, however, he sustained a concussion in the brawl resulting from Hunter Strickland hitting Bryce Harper with a pitch. He did not play the rest of the season. Even without the concussion, Morse might not have lasted much longer as he was hitting .194/.250/.306 when he went down. Morse is a free agent at this writing, but given that he had not recovered from the concussion in time to finish the season with the Giants, I doubt he will play again.
Morse was a good hitter, equally adept against right and left handed pitching. He hit for a good average with decent power. His defense, however, was horrible, which limited his playing time. He probably should have caught on with an AL team as a designated hitter, but he spent the last nine years of his career in the NL.
