Watching Morrow pitch always makes me wonder what could have been had he not endured injuries. He had an elite/ace type of arm. Loved watching him pitch when he was a Jay.
Anyone who thinks they don't either has never watched MLB level baseball before or only watches and pays attention to the Yankees...http://www.espn.com/blog/buster-oln...-judge-struggling-to-find-october-strike-zone
Some proof that the Yankees may just get beneficial ball/strike calls in the regular season.....

If we all remember, the Jays organization wanted to convert him to a reliever when they had him. But he refused to switch at the time. For obvious reasons based on his performance in that role, the Jays weren't incorrect with their thinking. Would have been a great arm for us had he not jumped ship. Things happen nothing we can do now. Glad things are working out for him.
The third base coach waved him home, with the ball already in the infield. That should be a firing offense, win or loss, lol.
Brantley-Pillar-Hernandez wouldnt be bad with Alford waiting in the wings. Got to think one of Puig or Pederson can be had... like them as well.
Frazier is a good target for utility. Pirates always like those kind of players though so might be a hard sell.
If we somehow could get both Kipnis and Brantley in a trade with the Tribe that would be awesome. We may need to trade someone off our roster to make it happen. This trade could be something like the Alomar-Carter capture from SD some years ago. We gave up McGriff and Fernandez. What would be a comparable.
Kipnis
Brantley

Travis
Pierce
Prospect
Brantley and Travis are both injury risks. Pierce and prospect for Kipnis
Pearce is also an injury risk
If we ever got Brantley in a deal and somehow traded Morales that OF would be Brantley-Pillar-FA.
We would acquire another OF with speed and pop to replace slow footed Morales and his production. Maybe Bruce or CGozanlez!!!

Hard no. Also makes no sense from Cleveland's perspective.
Plus, in an Alomar/Carter type deal, the Jays have to be the ones acquiring the budding young star with multiple years of control.
Brantley's option likely doesn't even get picked up, so you're trading essentially just for Kipnis. God knows who the hypothetical prospect is? Without the prospect, its too much.
Yeah... and given the season Kipnis just had... woof. He probably bounces back, and I would still happily take a chance on the $30.5 million he's owed, but the risk is pretty obvious, especially when you're giving up a cheap alternative (granted, one with a hell of an injury history) in order to take it.
Am I the only one that has a hard time being interested in baseball after the 1st round? I'm sure there will be good games in the ALCS/NLCS and World Series but I probably won't watch much of it.
Obviously it was easy to be interested the last couple seasons with the Jays involved but i just find myself uninterested after such a long season of baseball. With all the other sports going on I find it hard to really care much about who wins the world series right now.
Good for Morrow I am glad he has found his niche. He is a FA this off season, would be a welcomed addition to the bullpen with a chance to start as depth. Wonder if he comes and if the Jays would be interested?
I would be all for bringing McGowan back. He was actually a target of mine both in the offseason and the deadline. He was very good for Miami up until the final month or two I believe.I'd love to have him in the pen next season. There is also former Jay that I'd bring in to the pen aswell, Dustin McGowan.
