If there is one thing all of the above supports -- Brandon's problems are MENTAL, not physical. Great mechanics. Shows great control "at times".
So, yes. He could still become a great pitcher, (starter or reliever). But, the million dollar arm on the 5 cent head is an all too common combination.
That said - it becomes more critical than normal to get buy-in to get any kind of performance out of him. Honestly, at this point, I suspect even with the new regime, that Morrow may be damaged goods in Seattle. Too much Bavasi baggage going on upstairs - coupled with a catcher (Joh) that pretty much nobody on the club respects, (and isn't likely going anywhere for a couple more years).
Trading him for somebody else's pitching or MI prospect might be in order.
