I love career ending injuries, even if they are done a little unrealistically. I signed Brandon Morrow to eat some innings as my 4th or 5th starter. It was an impulse buy late in Spring Training as I didn't feel one of my young guys was doing enough to earn the 5th spot and could use another year of seasoning. Grabbed him in the cheap as he had been passed over all off season.

He pitches in one Spring Training and tears his labrum, out 4-5 months. Then I get an e-mail in May that his career is done. I also lost my #3 for 6 months, so far he is healing.

I ended up having to go with the one guy who was in camp and rushing a former 1st rounder (supplemental) to the majors. The young guy has great stuff and movement but is wild.

I love the unexpectedness of it and having to scramble for options.
