I know he wasn't very good today, but I think you guys are going to like Brandon Morrow.
I too am glad to see him. Being in Ontario, I used to stay up late every once in a while to watch him pitch in Seattle on TV. Any starter that can touch 98/99mph is worth watching. I'll chalk that first inning up to nerves, he settled in alright after that. Pitchers take a while to develop, so he's got a large upside potential. We'll see.
Having said that, I miss League. I think he's got some mechanical issues, but when he's on he's lights out. Two years ago he mowed through the Yankees middle order, K'ing the side with a 97mph fastball with sick movement. He's also got the potential to be a Mariano type closer, if he can get his consistency under control.
Or maybe they'll both turn into Billy Koch. Who knows.
