When looking at pitchers most comparable to Morris:

Dennis Martinez (903)

Red Ruffing (861) *

Chuck Finley (859)

There's some good pitchers there. There's six HOFers in that group, one other (Glavine) that could make the Hall and three other non-HOF but pretty good pitchers.

I'm not convinced one way or the other on Morris, so I'd like to see some arguments in favor and against his election.
