Time is up on Morin

[GrittyVeterans]

Too bad because he looked promising a few years ago. but he hasn't developed. Time to DFA him and give someone else a chance in his place

[fan_since79]

He strikes out a good deal of hitters, doesn't walk many, and is cost controlled.

Who do you replace him with?

I can't think of a time in the last 3 reasons where I thought to myself "Thank God, Morin is getting the call!"

Literally anyone 

[AngelsLakersFan]

I strike out a lot, am cost controlled, and I can't remember the last time I went for a walk...

[Stradling]

I have a gut feeling he will be released when Street is activated.

If he's healthy and effective it'll be great, if not.......

I don't remember him striking out and it seems every time he comes in he gets shelled

[arch stanton]

Since he has options he'll probably continue riding the SLC Express as the mop up man for the rest of the season 

[Jeff Fletcher]

He is not going to be released. He has options. 

A healthy pitcher with options has some value. 

But i suspect he will be optioned to make room for Street.

He has a 5.19 era in his last 100.2ip at the major league level.  Yet his FIP is 3.51.  Why?  he strikes guys out.  Problem with FIP is that it doesn't take into account how hard a ball is hit unless it leaves the yard.  Treats every ball in play the same.  

Morin has been fairly bad for almost 3 years now.  His change up is good but it's something a major league hitter has shown to recognize.  His slider and fastball are well below avg pitches that need to be locate perfectly to be effective and even if they are, they still have a chance to get his hard because he's doesn't throw with substantial velocity.  

He's got value equivalent to near the bottom of the 40 man roster.  With our injuries, he's probably 45th to 50th actually.  Certainly one of the bubble guys to be DFA'd along with Nolan Fontana, Damien Magnifico, Vicente Campos, Brooks Pounders, and Daniel Wright.

He is the type of guy you throw out there when you simply don't have an interest in winning the game.  So basically innings eater on days Nolasco starts.
