I too am extremely excited about Morrow, and am glad he is in the majors instead of the minors.  Not neccissarily so that Wak and adair can watch him, but so that I can watch him!  As a fan that is the thing I am most concerned about is watching a good game, a winnable game and guys that I can see are supremely talented and might help my favorite team win a pennant.  In our zeal to be MLB GM's I think sometimes we foget to be fans :)
I very much like the FB/CU (looks more like a curve to me, not a slider, potato, potahto) arsnel he is putting out there right now, but that Splitter (again looks like a split to me not a change) will be a true out pitch once Morrow gets used to throwing all his pitches and settles into a grove.  That thing is JJ Putz like and has vicious downward break at the end.  IIRC it was actually the split that got the final ugly swing from Everth Cabreara in the pitch sequence you talk about, Doc.  Two high and away fastballs to get behind, two beautiful curves that were strikes to get back into the ab and then a killer split in the dirt that made the batter look silly :) :) :)
I would like to see a 60 (FB) - 25 (CU) - 15 (SP) type of pitch selection once he grooves in.
