Is something I just don't get. Kinda like I didn't get the frustration with Meche.
I caught, like, 5 minutes of the 710 radio postgame and whoever was doing the show said that all he saw in Morrow was a decent MLB reliever. Unbelievable.
Morrow's exactly as you describe him doc... a young pitcher, witha golden arm, and some mechanical tweaks to figure out.
Felix was one of the best prospects in the history of pitchers. How many years did it take him to really put it all together? And of course your example of Randy is a good one.
The media and bulk of fandom think Morrow's been jerked around, RP to SP to AAA to MLB & back again, and for some reason it causes hand-wringing... they need to relax on this stuff. There are lots of paths for development. Morrow was great as a reliever, and has had pretty good success as a starter, despite his limited experience and short development path.
Let the guy be your #3-#4SP for a coupla three years and watch him work his way in to TOR performance. It'll happen.
