I wonder how much of that is skewed by his great games.
I think when he is on he obviously locates great, but when he is off he really struggles with location of his pitches.

Seems like a reasonable conclusion; one that may be more of a strategy than a flaw.
Between this analysis and the pitch f/x data suggesting he is moving away from his 3/4/5 pitches and focusing on 1/2 - maybe having him close isn't the worst idea in the world.
I still think it's a lousy idea until the Jays have 5 other starters with even one pitch as strong as Morrow's fastball and slider - which is probably never.

I think that overall he is probably more valuable as 3rd (if you can get two guys better) for the Jays as they can probably find someone to close easier than getting a 3rd starter.
