(Almost) No More Morrows

Morrow to be shut down after one more start as per Cito. 150 is the limit and he is only 6 2/3 innings shy.

It seems the Jays are determined not to see Morrow go kaboom in a year they won't make the playoffs. Makes perfect sense to me and 150 seems reasonable. 69 2/3 is his ML peak (last year) when he hit 124 2/3 between the majors and minors. Even mixing in college he's never gone any higher.

As much as I hate to see it, I have to agree this is the right choice. So who comes up? Shawn Hill with 50 IP 1.1 BB/9 6.3 K/9 1.80 ERA or Scott Richmond with 31 IP 1.7 BB/9 7.8 K/9 1.74 ERA make the most sense to me. There is also Brad Mills 101 IP 3.6 BB/9 7.9 K/9 4.72 ERA plus 15 2/3 IP in the majors with a 5.28 ERA and 5.3 BB/9 7.6 K/9.

I'd go with Shawn Hill first, then Scott Richmond, then Mills as Mills has had a shot already and is a bit too wild still.
