Brandon Morrow will finally be on his way to justify Seattle taking him with their first pick a couple years back.  His true value is as a starter, and if he fails he can always be sent back to the ‘pen.  This is the right move to make now that Seattle isn’t competing for anything other than Stephan Strasburg’s services.

Jared Wells is being promoted, which baffles me.  Ryan Rowland-Smith should be promoted, pushing Miguel Batista into Morrow’s former role.  The only way this makes sense is if they just want an extra arm until Batista/RRS’s turn comes back around, in which time they’ll jettison Wells.

Wells has been pretty bad this year in AAA, but relievers have a funny way of playing well in the major leagues despite shotty track records.  Hopefully he is one of those guys.
