Reportedly Morlan had lost velocity and gained pounds, a tried and true method towards developing a bust and becoming one too. Tommy talked Morlan in depth more yesterday. I'm certainly fine with adding another high strikeout reliever to the fold. Hopefully the conditioning and velocity issues don't become a constant, because by any measure Morlan performed fair enough in Montgomery and should start the season in Durham with a chance at cracking the major league bullpen sometime during the season.
