Typically, when a team signs a free agent starting pitcher, the intention is to start that pitcher. This may not be true with the Astros signing right-handed pitcher Charlie Morton. You might remember him from his performances with the Pirates and Phillies. But now he is in Houston for two years, for $7 million dollars a year. The question is, where will he pitch on the 2017 squad?
Morton made all of four starts last year with the Phillies, should he automatically be given a starters role? Morton was all over the place yesterday at Fanfest.
