My point isn't necessarily that we should have kept Morrow. He was a mess. My point is that we should have been able to get something way more valuable than a reliever for him (former first rounder, SP, extensive flashes of brilliance, classic change of scenery/maturation candidate, unhittable fastball, probably would have been a top three selection in another draft). Maybe the market wasn't there, but in that case, wait a little or package him with something else or whatever.
I was also not opposed to trading Fister... but you just gotta do better than that (club controlled, healthy, brainy, cheap, proven SP in MLB, plus plus plus makeup, unique physical gifts- 10 ft tall, etc).  Fister was one of the most valuable commodities in MLB.  Sure, Furbush is awesome and fun.  Wells is OK.  But, C'MON!  Those guys should have been throw ins not the headliners.
