Pirates love Morris

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette says scouts glow about pitcher Bryan Morris (acquired in the Jason Bay deal) and his upside.
"The sky could be the limit for this kid," said Danny Darwin, the former Pirates pitcher who is Great Lakes' pitching coach.
...
"This kid is definitely a big league prospect," Darwin said. "He just needs to refine what he has."

Morris, 6-3, 190, throws his fastball 96-97 mph "on a good day," Darwin said, adding that his curve and slider are "swing-and-miss" pitches.
The Pirates are also high on Brandon Moss, and it sounds like he'll get a shot to start in left field.
