thing that most worries me about Morrow now, and this is kind of the new pet philosophy of M's blogs around the globe, is that the M's are going to make Morrow the new Rafael Soriano.

When Soriano came up, he was a starter. And he had the potential to be a rather good one. Then, at some point he ended up in the pen, showed a tendency to dominate, and the organization never viewed him as a starter anymore.

With every good performance Morrow has, he may be sealing his own fate...forcing himself into relying on heat to get outs, while also "impressing" the higher-ups who then view him as top notch reliever.
