Don't Trade Jarrod Washburn! (Or If You Do, Get A Lot For Him)
Categories: Mariners
He's the only Mariner who's won a World Series, and his new split-finger fastball, which he allegedly learned from J.J. Putz sometime around early June, has been paying huge dividends. A quick check of his splits (no pun intended) shows that early June is about when J-Wash started to turn it around. And the splitter is being noted as the key to his new success.
Granted, the Mariners need to clean house and start over. And maybe that means moving Washburn. But let's not make a panic trade. I'm willing to part with the bathwater, but it'd be nice to hold on to the baby.
