Pitching is about preventing runs, and Jack Morris was only slightly above average at that. For the whole of his career, he allowed just 77 fewer earned runs than a park-adjusted, league average...

For the record, I wasn't the one that called him a fraud. I simply think there is a significant list of pitchers that need to be voted in before him (like 10-15 guys)
