Lefty Ryan Rowland Smith and righty Brandon Morrow have both pitched very well since returning from the minors where they did a small conversion from the bullpen to the rotation. These two guys combined with Felix Hernandez give the Mariners a much better rotation than the one they started with last April. Smith has started 11 games for the Mariners this season and he is 2-2 with a 3.44 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP. Overall, Smith has pitched in 46 games in which he is 4-3 with 2 saves, a 3.39 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP. Morrow has started 4 games for the Mariners this season and he is 1-2 with a 4.70 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP. He almost no-hit the Yankees in one of his starts as his stuff is that good. Morrow has now pitched in 44 games for the Mariners this season and he is 2-4 with 10 saves, a 2.72 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP. He has whiffed 67 batters and only has allowed 34 hits in 59.2 innings this season for the Mariners. The Mariners will definately have a different look next season with Smith and Morrow helping the rotation out big time.
