So.... Charlie Morton

[Julio3000]

Yeah, I didn't like seeing Morton go, but he seemed redundant, and I didn't really see him getting an extended shot in ATL. I'd make that trade every time...sucks how it worked out.

I remember listening to an interview from him last spring. A few things are going on with him.

1. He's healthy.
2. He's using a curve or off speed pitch to get lefties out. Lefties use to kill him.
3. He's altered his mechanics and workout regiment for the velocity increase.

So health, change in the way he's attacking left handers, and new approach.

Yea, he was obviously a different guy then. I'm not even sure he could have seen this coming.

FWIW, he almost retired before last season and has floated the idea around again after this season. We'll see what happens when teams are willing to drop down a giant paycheck. That tends to change peoples mind.
