Newsbreakers

December 2, 2009

Jarrod Washburn is garnering interest from a handful of MLB clubs, according to Yahoo! Sports.

Our View:

So far, Minnesota, Texas, Milwaukee and Seattle are interested in the lefty hurler. He held a 3.78 ERA and 1.19 ERA over 28 starts (176 innings) in 2009.

November 13, 2009

Updating a previous report, the Tigers have contacted starter Jarrod Washburn to inform him that they are not interested in re-signing him, according to MLive.com.

Our View:

Washburn was having a career year until he was traded to the Mariners in July. A knee injury and a sudden bout of ineffectiveness led to a 1-3 record and a 7.33 ERA with the Tigers. Expect teams to cautiously avoid him this hot stove season unless they have no other options.

November 5, 2009

According to the Detroit Free Press, Tigers' pitcher Jarrod Washburn said he "would be surprised" if the team offered him a contract for next season. Washburn was acquired from Seattle the the trade deadline but struggled with a knee injury after coming to Detroit.

Our View:

Washburn was just 1-3 with a 7.33 ERA in his time with the Tigers this season, so it's not a big shocker that they might not want him back. He was having an outstanding campaign with the Mariners before the trade, so there is no doubt that he will get plenty of attention this winter.

September 30, 2009

The Detroit Free Press is reporting that Tigers' starter Jarrod Washburn will eventually have surgery on his ailing left knee. Washburn will hold off on surgery for now in hopes of pitching at some point in the postseason.

Our View:

Washburn looks like a long-shot to make any kind of contribution in the postseason, but he will wait on the surgery and try to come back. He won't be getting a start in the first round, so best-case scenario would be coming out of the bullpen.

September 19, 2009

Jarrod Washburn is slated to visit orthopedist Dr. Lewis Yocum in Los Angeles on Tuesday, according to MLive.com.

Our View:

Washburn's MRI revealed no torn cartilage in his ailing left knee, but he has been shut down until he is examined by Yocum. The 35-year-old hurler has been scratched from Sunday's scheduled start, and Nate Robertson will take the hill in his place.

September 16, 2009

FoxSports.com is reporting that Tigers' starting pitcher Jarrod Washburn could be done for the season due to a knee injury. Washburn lasted only one inning in his start on Tuesday due to swelling in the knee.

Our View:

An MRI has revealed no structural damage to the knee, but Washburn believes the injury in continuing to get worse. He has struggled badly since coming to Detroit, so maybe shutting him down is the best option for the team. We will keep you updated when the Tigers decide what to do.

September 15, 2009

Jarrod Washburn exited Tuesday's start against the Royals with a knee injury.

Our View:

He was rocked for four earned runs over one inning prior to leaving, and his injury status is yet to be updated.

September 10, 2009

Jarrod Washburn's struggles with the Tigers continued on Thursday. He allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks over just five innings in a 7-4 loss to the lowly Royals.

Our View:

Washburn didn't get the loss Thursday, but he deserved it. His WHIP for the game was 2.00 and he only struck out one Royal. Since joining the Tigers he's 1-2 with an ERA well over 6.00.

September 3, 2009

Struggling with a sore knee and ineffectiveness, Jarrod Washburn will have his next turn in the rotation skipped, according to MLB.com's Jason Beck.

Our View:

Armando Galarraga will be recalled from Triple-A Toledo and start in his place this Saturday. Washburn has allowed 28 earned runs in just 37 innings since coming to Detroit, and is 1-2 with a 6.81 ERA in six starts.

September 2, 2009

A sore right knee could be behind Jarrod Washburn's struggles (6.81 ERA in six starts) since coming to the Motor City, according to FoxSports.com.

Our View:

Washburn hasn't just been not as good as he was in Seattle since coming to Detroit, he's been downright awful, allowing 28 earned runs in just 37 innings, skyrocketing his ERA from 2.64 to 3.55. The Tigers currently have no plans to drop him from their rotation or to place him on the disabled list, however.

August 31, 2009

Jarrod Washburn got pounded again on Monday as the Tigers fell to the Rays by a score of 11-7. Washburn allowed the first six hitters of the game to score, and he finished with a line of 5.2 innings, eight runs, nine hits, three walks, and two strikeouts.

Our View:

The Rays were the first team since the 2003 Cardinals to have six runs after six batters, but Washburn did manage to settle down a bit after that horrendous start. He has been a major disappointment since coming over to the Tigers, and the team really needs him to get it figured out as we head into September.

August 20, 2009

Jarrod Washburn was roughed up for six earned runs on five hits over six innings in Thursday's 7-6 win over Seattle at Comerica Park. He had one walk and four strikeouts, and was tagged for four homers.

Our View:

Washburn had a poor outing, and he is lucky he ends the day with a no-decision rather than a loss. He allowed five or more earned runs in three of his last four starts, after going 4-1 with a strong 1.44 ERA over six starts in July. Hopefully he will get back on track soon for fantasy owners.

August 14, 2009

Jarrod Washburn only issued three hits over eight scoreless innings in Friday's 1-0 win over the Royals at Comerica Park. He had two walks and four strikeouts.

Our View:

Washburn had a strong outing, but was forced to take a no-decision as the game was tied at zero when he exited. On the positive side, he bounced back from his last outing when he was tagged for five earned runs over six innings against Minnesota, and trimmed his ERA to 2.95.

August 9, 2009

Jarrod Washburn's second Tigers start didn't go much better than his first. The recently acquired lefty allowed five runs on ten hits in six innings, and took a no-decision as Detroit edged Minnesota 8-7.

Our View:

Washburn has now allowed 11 runs in 11.1 innings for the Tigers, good for an 8.74 ERA. His ERA is now over 3.00 for the first time since July 6.

August 4, 2009

Jarrod Washburn was roughed up for six earned runs on six hits over 5.1 innings in tonight's 8-2 loss to the Orioles at Comerica Park. He had two walks and two strikeouts, and was tagged for two homers.

Our View:

Washburn was a disappointment in his first start with the Tigers after being named the AL Pitcher of the Month for July. The former Mariner still holds a solid 2.93 ERA for the season, and should be able to bounce back fine.

August 4, 2009

Jarrod Washburn has been named the AL Pitcher of the Month for July, according to MLB.com. Washburn was chosen for the award with a 4-1 record and 1.44 ERA over 43.2 innings last month.

Our View:

This is the first time in Washburn's career that he has been named the pitcher of the month. He raised his trade stock in Seattle while being dealt to the contending Tigers.

July 31, 2009

Jarrod Washburn noted that he would be open to returning to Seattle next season after being dealt to Detroit Friday, according to Bob Nightengale's (USA Today) twitter page.

Our View:

The Mariners are not a solid team, but Washburn held a 2.64 ERA over 20 starts, with the help of playing his home games at pitcher-friendly Safeco Field. He is slated to become a free agent in the offseason.

July 31, 2009

According to MYNorthwest.com, The Tigers have acquired starter Jarrod Washburn from the Seattle Mariners for left-handers Luke French and Mauricio Robles.

Our View:

It was thought that Detroit didn't have enough available talent to get this deal done, but that theory is out the window. The Tigers now have a very solid starting staff and look to be the clear favorite out of the AL Central. Washburn will make an immediate impact and the Tigers didn't have to part with much at all. This looks like a steal for Detroit.

July 31, 2009

According to FOXSports.com, the Tigers have contacted the Mariners about coveted starter Jarrod Washburn.

Our View:

The Tigers likely don't have enough bait to pull in someone on the level of Washburn's talent. They have some decent pitching prospects, but their lack of talented future position players will probably keep them from adding an impact player. The Yankees are also interested in Washburn, but the M's are looking for Jesus Montero (the Yanks' top prospect) in return.

July 30, 2009

According to Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman, the Yankees remain the most likely landing spot should Jarrod Washburn be traded.

Our View:

With the M's acquiring Jack Wilson and Ian Snell from the Pirates yesterday, it would be a little odd if they dealt away Washburn. But the veteran pitcher is in a contract drive, and likely won't be back by the Puget Sound next year, so the M's may still deal him even if they feel they are contending.

July 29, 2009

Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports that the Brewers are no longer interested in Mariners' trade bait Jarrod Washburn.

Our View:

The Brew Crew are in the midst of a massive slide (they've lost 16-of-23) and are reluctant to give up high end prospects for a two month rental. They also are now four and a half games out in the Central and could be abandoning their 2009 playoff hopes altogether.

July 29, 2009

Jarrod Washburn impressed potential trade candidates on Tuesday as he went seven innings and allowed only one run on five hits. Washburn did not factor into the decision, but he walked three and struck out one.

Our View:

With Washburn's start tonight, he solidified himself as one of the better starting pitchers left on the trade market. Expect him to get moved before the deadline Friday, and the fantasy impact will depend on what team he goes to.

July 28, 2009

FOX Sports reports that the Mariners have shifted into "sell mode" and Jarrod Washburn is among the players believed to be moved before Friday's trade deadline.

Our View:

There are probably a good amount of teams that may make offers for Washburn. The Brewers and Phillies are two possible destinations for the veteran southpaw.

July 26, 2009

The Brewers supposedly have serious interest in acquiring pending free agent pitcher Jarrod Washburn, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Our View:

The Mariners reportedly covet a shortstop in return, either Brewers starter J.J. Hardy or top prospect Alcides Escobar. That would be a very steep price for a potential half a year rental, but the Brewers may be compelled to make the move anyway as they have fallen behind in the NL Central derby. Stay tuned.

July 23, 2009

Jarrod Washburn only surrendered two hits over seven scoreless innings in Thursday's 2-1 win at Detroit. He had two walks and three strikeouts.

Our View:

Washburn has earned a win in four straight starts, and impressively allowed one or less earned runs in each outing over the span. Keep him active in fantasy lineups for his next turn in the Mariners' rotation.

July 18, 2009

Jarrod Washburn was in control from the hill in Saturday's 3-1 win at Cleveland, as he only issued one earned run on eight hits over 6.2 innings. He had no walks with three strikeouts.

Our View:

Washburn now has a winning record at 7-6, and lowered his ERA to 2.87. He has won three straight starts, allowing one or less earned runs in each outing over the span.

July 11, 2009

Jarrod Washburn was in control from the bump in Saturday's 4-1 win over Texas at Safeco Field, as he only issued one earned run on four hits over seven innings. He had two walks and three strikeouts.

Our View:

Washburn earned a win for his strong performance, and improved to 6-6 and trimmed his ERA to 2.96. He was coming off his first complete game shutout of the season (against Baltimore) and should remain active in fantasy lineups for his next turn in the Mariners' rotation.

July 6, 2009

Jarrod Washburn was in control from the hill in Monday's 5-0 win over the Orioles at Safeco Field, as he issued one hit over nine innings. He had no walks and three strikeouts.

Our View:

Nick Markakis spoiled his bid for a no-hitter with a single. Washburn improves to 5-6, and is worth employing in AL-only leagues for his next start following tonight's impressive performance.

July 1, 2009

Jarrod Washburn was roughed up for four earned runs on eight hits over seven innings in Wednesday's 4-2 loss at the Yankees. He had one walk and six strikeouts, and was tagged for three homers.

Our View:

Washburn was a disappointment tonight after only giving up two earned runs in each of his previous two starts. He only claimed one win over his last 12 outings, and should only be considered in AL-only leagues for his next turn in the Mariners' rotation.

June 25, 2009

Jarrod Washburn allowed two earned runs on six hits over six innings in Thursday's 9-3 win over the Padres at Safeco Field. He had one walk and six strikeouts.

Our View:

It was a solid outing for Washburn, and he improves to 4-5. He was winless over his previous 10 starts, despite giving up two or less earned runs six times over the span. His fantasy value is hindered by playing for a weak team in Seattle.

June 21, 2009

The Dodgers are reportedly interested in Mariners' hurler Jarrod Washburn, according to MLB.com.

Our View:

The 35-year-old lefty holds a solid 3.24 ERA over 13 starts with Seattle this season - but only has three wins. His fantasy stock would rise if he is dealt to a better team, like the Dodgers.

June 20, 2009

Jarrod Washburn allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits over seven innings in Friday's 4-3 win over Arizona at Safeco Field. He had three walks and three strikeouts.

Our View:

Arizona was leading 3-0 when Washburn exited, so he takes a no-decision. He has now gone 10 straight starts without collecting a win.

June 14, 2009

Jarrod Washburn has been walking gingerly after his back locked up on him on Saturday, according to the Seattle Times. His start has been pushed back from Thursday to Friday.

Our View:

It sounds like a case of back spasms, and it would probably be wise to see how he responds before putting him in your starting lineups. He has lost each of his last five decisions.

June 6, 2009

Jarrod Washburn continued his string of bad luck on Saturday as he was left without a win for the eighth straight start. Washburn went six innings and allowed one run on seven hits while walking one and striking out six. He did not factor into the decision in the Mariners' 2-1 win over the Twins.

Our View:

Washburn has been excellent all season, but his record still sits at 3-4. His ERA is at 3.07, which is very good, but his team gives him little support every time he takes the mound. His fantasy value is solid, but owners need to hope the Mariners offense decides to give him some run support.

June 1, 2009

Jarrod Washburn pitched well in Monday's 1-0 loss to the Orioles at Safeco Field as he only allowed one earned run on six hits over seven innings. He had one walk with three strikeouts.

Our View:

This was a strong performance for Washburn, and it is a shame that he was forced to take a loss due to no run support from his teammates. He now has a losing record at 3-4, and has gone seven straight starts without a win.

May 26, 2009

Jarrod Washburn was very good on Tuesday, but his bullpen could not deliver him a win as the Mariners fell to the A's 4-3. Washburn went six innings and did not allow a run on six hits while walking one and striking out four.

Our View:

Washburn ran into some tough luck tonight, as he deserved to get himself a win. Miguel Batista gave up four runs in relief, costing Washburn his win. Tough break, but he has been solid this season and should be used in all leagues.

May 22, 2009

Jarrod Washburn will not start on Saturday as originally expected due to tightness in his left knee, according to the Seattle Times. He will instead make the start on Tuesday at Oakland. The injury also bothered him some in his last start. Manager Don Wakamatsu says that there is no concern of it developing into a major injury. Garrett Olson will start on Saturday instead.

Our View:

Washburn got off to a strong start this season, but he has now allowed 10 runs in his last two starts. The extra time off should be good for more than just his knee.

May 19, 2009

Jarrod Washburn surrendered six runs on seven hits and two walks while suffering his third loss in Monday's 10-6 game with the Angels.

Our View:

Washburn's last three decisions have all resulted in losses. The southpaw has had five solid outings in his eight starts this season. He's still worth employing in spot starts, but lately he's looked a lot like the Jarrod Washburn we all expected.

May 13, 2009

Jarrod Washburn was decent on Wednesday, but his team lost to the Rangers 6-5 in eleven innings. Washburn went six innings and allowed four runs on seven hits while walking four and striking out five.

Our View:

Washburn has been very good this season, and although he wasn't great tonight, he wasn't terrible either. Washburn has earned his status as a quality pitcher in all leagues, and he should be utilized.

May 7, 2009

Jarrod Washburn was the tough luck loser on Thursday as the Mariners fell to the Royals 3-1. Washburn went seven innings and allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits while striking out five.

Our View:

Washburn has been a bit of a surprise this season, and he continues to be very good every time he takes the mound. His record is at 3-2, but it probably should be much better than that considering his 2.68 ERA. He should be owned in all leagues at this point, but beware of him coming back to earth when his team begins to do the same.

May 2, 2009

Jarrod Washburn had a solid outing in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the A's at Safeco Field, as he only allowed one earned run on five hits over seven innings. He fired six strikeouts with two walks.

Our View:

Washburn pitched very well tonight, and it is a shame his teammates did not provide enough offensive support to win. He was dealt a no-decision and is 3-1 over five starts.

April 26, 2009

Jarrod Washburn finally got burned. He was tagged for six runs on eight hits and three walks over 5.1 innings on Sunday. He was handed his first loss of the season and the Mariners got embarrassed to the tune of 8-0 by the Angels.

Our View:

Washburn was excellent in his first three starts this season, which had a lot to do with the Mariners' hot start. We didn't expect that to last too long, and now he looks more like the Jarrod Washburn of old.

April 21, 2009

Jarrod Washburn looked good for the third straight time this season as he struck out nine hitters in seven innings and the Mariners beat the Rays 4-2 on Tuesday. He allowed five hits, three walks, and two earned runs while improving to 3-0.

Our View:

Washburn has gotten off to an unforeseen excellent start in 2009. Not only is he 3-0, but he's averaged seven innings per outing and has a 1.71 ERA and a 0.86 WHIP against the Twins, Angels, and Rays. While we suspect that this will probably be his best month of the season, he's been too good to let sit on the waiver wire.

April 18, 2009

Jarrod Washburn has been dealing with the flu for a few days, according to the Seattle Times.

Our View:

The ailment has drained his strength, but he is expected to be fine, and ready to go for his next scheduled start.

April 9, 2009

Jarrod Washburn threw eight scoreless innings, with five hits allowed, in Thursday's 2-0 win at Minnesota, with one walk and four strikeouts.

Our View:

This was a strong performance against a solid team on their home turf. All five hits allowed were singles.

April 4, 2009

Jarrod Washburn pitched five innings against the Rockies in his final spring start Friday. He allowed five runs on 10 hits in five innings.

Our View:

Washburn did strike out five, but they also played a factor in his astronomical pitch count. He threw 97 pitches over the course of his five innings. The one positive to take away from this start is that 67 of those pitches were strikes.

March 29, 2009

Jarrod Washburn allowed seven runs on 13 hits in six innings against the Royals on Sunday.

Our View:

Any shot Washburn had at getting drafted in fantasy leagues because of a semi-promising spring more than likely just went out the window. Washburn struggled to keep pitches down, however, his one possible saving grace may be that he pitched okay over his final four innings.

March 18, 2009

Jarrod Washburn got the win Wednesday after scattering seven hits over 5.2 innings and allowing two earned runs. He struck out five and lowered his spring ERA to 4.85.

Our View:

Washburn continues to improve with each outing, and will probably crack the Mariners rotation, but he's best left alone when it comes to drafting a fantasy team.

March 12, 2009

Jarrod Washburn had another poor outing against Texas on Thursday, giving up one earned run (three total) off five hits and two walks while striking out three in three innings.

Our View:

It was not as bad as his previous outing, but still clearly nothing to write home about. Seattle may not have any great options to bump Washburn out of the starting rotation, especially if Brandon Morrow is unable to stay healthy, but it'd be best to steer completely clear of Washburn in your fantasy league, even in the deep AL-only varieties.

March 6, 2009

Jarrod Washburn got roughed up in his inning and a third of work Friday, allowing four runs on seven hits to the A's.

Our View:

Following a 5-14 season in 2008, Washburn won't have to wait long for the hook from the rotation if he begins to falter. Today's start wasn't exactly beneficial to his cause.

March 2, 2009

Jarrod Washburn allowed just one hit and no runs over two innings against the White Sox on Monday. He did not walk or strike out anybody.

Our View:

Washburn should fill a rotation spot for the Mariners as long as he is healthy. The left-hander rarely strikes out any one though, and he is fairly hittable.

February 3, 2009

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports that the Mariners are looking to shed some salary from the team's cap by trading left-handed starter Jarrod Washburn, possibly to the Minnesota Twins. Washburn is scheduled to make $10.35 million this coming season, with the M's reportedly responsible for a portion of it.

Our View:

One report claims the Mariners have talked to the Twins about sending Washburn and catcher Jeff Clement to Minnesota for outfielder Delmon Young.
