There's Always Brandon Morrow

U.S.S. Mariner blasts the organization for moving Morrow into the rotation:

Brandon Morrow threw an inning on April 3rd, an inning on April 10th, and an inning on April 14th. During spring training, his longest outing was two innings, he threw 8 1/3 total innings in the month of March. In his professional debut last year in the Arizona and Cal Leagues, his longest outing was three innings.

The last time Brandon Morrow threw more than 3 innings in a ballgame was May 5th, 2006 against the Stanford Cardinal.

And now, he's being asked to go into a severe hitters park and make his first major league start, after having spent the entire spring being used as a reliever, and then sitting on his hands for the better part of April.

At least he should be rested. :-) I don't have a huge problem with this, unless they really try to extend the outing. If they limit him to 75 pitches or five innings, it's probably okay.
