Default Re: Jack Morris

I would definitely vote in Blyleven, Tommy John, Kaat and Morris. I don't buy the 300 win threshold as a measure of who gets in or stays out. Phil Niekro went 21-20 one season; wins are very dependent on run support and bullpen consistency. Morris was a deadly pitcher for most of the 80s and early 90s, and his 10 inning gem in the 91 WS is the greatest pitching performance I've ever seen. I think these borderline pitchers will make it in once the era of 300 win starters comes to an end (it may already have - who's gonna get to 300 now that Maddux made it?).
