I think this is the Morgan statue I would prefer; it's the Joe Morgan of my youth. It's funny, he was so good at hitting, running and fielding that it's very difficult to capture it all in one statue.
sorry we're boring
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.

The Reds Hall of Fame will also have a season long exhibit dedicated to Joe Morgan.

Morgan's statue -- which will join those of Johnny Bench, Ted Kluszewski, Ernie Lombardi, Joe Nuxhall and Frank Robinson -- will be dedicated on Saturday, Sept. 7, prior to the 1:05 p.m. ET game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
He'll immediately dismiss it as being sabremeterical.
