2010 MLB Sleeper Player Profile: Brandon Morrow, SP Blue Jays

Written By Todd Farino, http://www.fantasybaseballsearch.com/

• Player: Brandon Morrow
• Team: Toronto Blue Jays
• Throws: Right
• Position: SP

Fantasy Baseball Search Sleeper Rank: 6/30

Brandon Morrow came to the Blue Jays as part of the Roy Halladay trade and the Blue Jays may have gotten a steal.  Morrow was a #1 draft pick in 2006 and quickly moved through the Mariners farm system.  He was set to be the closer, but it didn't go well and his health allowed David Aardsma to take the job.

Now with the Blue Jays and 100% healthy, Morrow will try to establish himself as a stud starting pitcher.  He will still have some health issues throughout the season as he and the Blue Jays balance his diabetes, but that won't stop him from finding success.  Morrow has dominating stuff, including a 98-mph fastball and a knee-buckling curveball.  The change of scenery and a new pitching coach should benefit him and expect a big season from Morrow.  He could be the #1 or #2 started for the Blue Jays.
The True Guru Projections: 15 Wins, 186 Ks, 3.42 ERA, 1.31 WHIP

I feel this player will achieve my projections through our formula based on 11 herbs and spices (its locked at Fort Knox). Of course we are assuming he stays relatively healthy for the entire season.
