I don't think there is any denying the fact that Morrow has great stuff, but the fact that he can't reign it in from start to start, really makes me wonder if this is all Brandon Morrow will ever be. A good starter, who is can never string together more than two or three quality starts.

Morrow has pitched into the 8th inning three times this year. He has also failed to get out of the 4th inning five times. I think this is what Morrow really is, a guy who when he has his "A" stuff is very dominating, but can't get by without it. The only thing stopping Morrow from being a 2 in any MLB rotation, is his lack of consistancy.

EDIT: For the record I still think Morrow is better suited to be in a MLB starting rotation, it is just that the Blue Jays need to find better options for their 2/3 starters. I wouldn't hesitate to have Morrow taking the bump every 5 days, just not sure he is a great option going forward for a "future" post-season rotation.
