Who's hating on Morgan? Some of you guys need to sharpen your comprehension skills. There's no hate when someone views him as a #5 because that's exactly what he is. Morgan is nothing but insurance/depth for this organization. "Almost a 3rd starter" is laughable unless it's for a non-competitive team with no SP depth. FFS if he's "almost a 3rd starter" then lets deal him for a good corner OF bat. Think there would be any takers? That's rhetorical because everyone here knows it wouldn't happen unless it's a big contract that a team is looking to unload.
I'll wait to see if "Morgan is a better Tomlin". If he is it's marginal at best which still makes him a #5.
Well from your posts and some others it really did sound like Morgan is nothing more than a warm body that can pitch some...
Morgan has one of the best changeups in the game right now and his fastball-changeup combo actually is very good. If he can find another pitch that plays off well from those two, he is actually going to make himself a legit SP on any team. His slider is his next pitch and honestly it hasn't put up good numbers.
Kluber wasn't really that great until he changed his pitches around, which he did after he got to Cleveland.. My point being if Morgan can find another pitch to mix properly with what he does well, it's very possible he goes from a legit #5 to something greater. No, he will never be an Ace, but he can become greater than a number 5.
