He can't rely on his fastball (which will be a few mph slower) quite so much as a starter.

…one step closer to a mob of M’s fans storming Safeco Field, carrying him out of the stadium and tossing him into Puget Sound.

Marine Pollution laws are pretty serious. Could be some big fines.

How long, realisticly, whould it take Morrow or any reliever really to stretch out their arms?

With Morrow, I don’t think the real issue is “stretching out” his arm – it’s developing his secondary pitches. He can’t rely on his fastball (which will be a few mph slower) quite so much as a starter.

To anybody who can answer this,

How long, realisticly, whould it take Morrow or any reliever really to stretch out their arms?

We are not going to even be .500 by the time it is all said and done. So why not convert Morrow to a starter now? Let him have his struggles if he has them, the team is losing anyways. He's not going to get run support so he probably won't rack up a tonne of wins - big deal, none of starters are going to. Come on, do something right this season M's... Give us a reason to watch this team... This season is a write-off. We are not going to even be .500 by the time it is all said and done. So why not convert Morrow to a starter now?
