Your assumption is that Morrow would have performed exactly the same in Seattle as he did in Toronto last year. And I don't think there is any way that would have happened.
I'm with G - Morrow doesn't strike me as the strongest guy, mentally speaking, and he was done in Seattle. He needed the change of scenery to have a shot at fulfilling his potential. I say that as his MC adopted "parent". Remember, this is a club that had him so mixed up that he actually told Zduriencik that he *wanted* to be in the bullpen.
Z's mistake with Morrow was giving him the choice instead of just telling him that he was going to Tacoma and not coming back until he earned a spot in the starting rotation. Morrow needs that kind of certainty and structure to succeed. IMHO.
