There may be no more frustrating pitcher in baseball. He can just dominate the best lineups in the game seemingly at will, but has some of the worst blowups I've ever seen. As for closing, that's what some have been saying, but if Morrow ever gets his shit together mentally (and his #'s in line with his peripherals), you'll have a possible elite starter. Heck, he had a 3.64 FIP/3.53 xFIP this season. That's too valuable to waste on relieving, at least at this point.

Yes, Drabek seems unable to throw strikes, and that has to be troubling.

His problems seem mental to me, too. His value has taken a huge hit...and you can't really trade him now. Just have to hope he bounces back in the spring.
As much as I hate the gutless Zack Greinke, trading Drabek + others for him last season looks like it would have been the right call.
