2009 FBS Sleeper Player: Brandon Morrow
Team: Seattle Mariners
Last year all the rumors were that Morrow would close. Why not? He has a 98 MPH fastball and a very impressive break ball. He did close and close well. Morrow collected 12 saves before J.J. Putz came back. They then threw him into the starting rotation where he nearly threw a no-hitter against the Yankees. Morrow is a very impressive 25 year old pitcher. He has excellent command of all his pitches and mixes them surprisingly well. The Mariners were smart to move him into the starting rotation as he will flourish there. We highly recommend you drafting Brandon Morrow. We see a fantastic sophomore season. He will continue to develop, so there will be bumps in the road, but overall he will have a great 2009.

The True Guru Projections: 3.35 ERA, 16-7 rec, 1.19 WHIP, 195 K
We feel he will achieve these projections through our formula based on our secret formula of 11 herbs and spices (its locked at Fort Knox). Of course we are assuming he stays relatively healthy for the entire season.

A 2.35 ERA? Seriously? I think you've severely underrated Morrow. I expect no higher than a 0.09 ERA and would be shocked if I was wrong. My formula is based on a superior blend of HEARTflakes, GRITcakes and HUSTLEloops.
THank you for pointing out the ERA. Clearly that was an error on our part. It should have been 3.35, not 2.35.
Thanks
