I'm very excited to see Morales make his MLB debut. Hopefully the Rockies catch lightning in a bottle with him, because the rotation right now needs some help.

this gonna be jus a 1 start thing or you think hes actually gonna stay up(and should he stay up)

i personally have never seen him pitch, but everyone i have heard talk about him says hes got great stuff, filthy pitches and an amazing fastball, but ZERO control.

This year his numbers at Tulsa are ok, but the K/9 is down from his 2006 numbers to around a 7 in 100+ inning pitched. So not sure he is still considered a power or K pitcher...a respectable ERA, nothing mind blowing.

Hard to say right now, that decision might depend on how he does tonight.
