Why do you think the Brewers are salivating to get Morrow?

True, they are after starting pitchers, but Morrow's diabetes has rendered him somewhat suspect as a starter. The Mariners let him start some games in 2009, but also tried him out as a closer, where he collected six saves.

That's why I see him potentially bound for Detroit along with either Burton, Gomes or both of them. Tigers have no money, but need a closer and a DH to compete in 2010. They surrender Jackson and potentially fill both needs at once. Jackson becomes expendable with Nate Robertson returning off the DL for the Tigers.
