Rest-of-Season Projections
The recently-released Morris has decided to retire, the Pirates' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Unfortunately for the Pirates, they still have to pay him $11 million. It's unlikely that Morris, who went 0-4 with a 9.67 ERA in his first five starts, would have found anything higher than a minor league deal.

Morris is becoming the well-traveled veteran that teams try to squeeze a .500 record and 30 starts out of from the back end of the rotation. The only problem with that is that the budget-conscious Pirates are paying him over $9 million for the 2008 campaign, nearly 20 percent of their entire payroll. On a good team he might be able to post passable fantasy numbers; with the Pirates you're likely just wasting your time. Revisit him if and when he gets dealt from Pittsburgh to a contender, given the increased opportunity to contribute some wins.
