Get over the past will you. They are wrong. He has more than one effective pitch like i have been discussing in prev posts-read it. The jays are not stupid enough to put morrow into a closer. That is a waste.
yes i have said he can have a good game but he is 27 years old, the chance that he is going to dramatically improve especially after showing 0 improvement from last year is pretty unlikely. Feel free to keep your irrational hatred for the mariners up but they seem to have done pretty well with the guy they got back in the deal and developed him just fine.
So what he is 27. That is not old to develop. Besides he has good stuff already. Burnett developed into a "pitcher" (instead of throwing heats, he learnt how to mixed it up and with "new" pitches) while with the jays and he was 30 then. Morrow just needs to keep it consistent over a long stretch and that comes with experience and patience as well as proper development. I do not hate the mariners, get over it. You seem to think they were developing morrow well and you believe in their coaches' decision to make him a closer. Yikes. I am telling you the mariners are way off on morrow as well as other failures in developing pitchers.
this is an argument that is not worth having on here but i am sure the yankees, red sox and rays are shaking in their boots worrying about having the face the mighty jays in the future.

They may not be shaking in their boots right now but they sure are paying attention of what the jays have in the system and what they can become in the near future.
