Morrow headed to Seattle bullpen, by choice - MLB - Yahoo! Sports

This won’t be a temporary move to build arm strength after Morrow missed much of spring training with forearm stiffness. He said the move was determined a week ago, adding that he “feels at home” in the bullpen and doesn’t envision returning to a starting role.

“There’s no discussion about going back so far,” said Morrow, taken with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2006 amateur draft and pegged since then as a starter. “I think that I’d be more useful as a bullpen pitcher than a starting pitcher.”

Also on Sunday, the Mariners optioned catcher Jeff Clement to Triple-A Tacoma, ending his hopes of earning the backup role to Kenji Johjima. They also released disappointing reliever Tyler Walker, who never developed into a potential replacement for All-Star closer J.J. Putz.
Congratulations Brandon, You are the closer by default. We chose him over Tim Lincenum. Yay us.
