Give it up Moon. Morrow is not a closer. He has the ability to power and eat up big innings. Morrow has started games with lights-out stuff before. This is his second season as a regular starter. Give him some experience and follow up with sound development and coaching, you will have a confident pitcher with great stuff. It would be a shame to miscast him as a closer when he can shut down big bats. See below and the company he keeps, remember the stats below were based on his first year as a regular starter with more than just a few games:
