Yeah, lets be honest if Morrow was to absolutely dominate every 2nd start say averaging 8 innings and 2 earned runs, than give up 5 runs in 6 innings the other starts his ERA would be 4.50. But you'd get 220 innings out of him, and chances are over 33 starts, he'd likely end up with 17-18 wins.
Really innings and some more consistency is what I'd like to see from Morrow. I don't care if his ERA is 4.40. If he can stay in games, and stay healthy, and be more consistent than that will help the pitching staff. I think it's going to be key for the Jays to get 420 to 430 innings from Romero, and Morrow, because after them I don't know if there's another arm that can get them 160.
