Morrow's comps: Daniel J Travanti, William Peterson, Jerry Orbach

Does Jennifer Jason Leigh come with him? If so, good deal.

That helicopter accident will negate his effectiveness.

When I saw this headline, I was hoping there was a player named Tom Morrow. I'm disappointed.

Er, that's kind of creepy.

Thankfully Seattle kept their head and still has a Saunders...

Huh? Why would being traded cause Morrow's OPS+ to change from 107 to 94? Is one of the projections wrong?

Why would being traded cause Morrow's OPS+ to change from 107 to 94?

It's not being traded, it's the rigor mortis.

ballpark anyone?

Sorry I'm not very ZIPS savvy but do Morrow's peripherals change appreciably if you make him a full time starter or reliever? If it's an easy adjustment (and makes a difference) I think that would be the interesting thing to look at.

OK, there are a few reasons I can think of why Morrow's OPS+ could change from 107 to 94...which is a pretty major change from solidly above average to solidly below average.

1) OPS+ is not park adjusted. I don't think this is the case, but it would explain it.

2) Morrow is particularly ill-suited for Rogers Centre or well-suited for Safeco.

3) The ZIPS system takes into account strength of schedule, so it is the fact that he is facing the Yankees, Red Sox, and Rays a lot more that is causing the OPS+ to drop.
