September 17, 2008 The Seattle Mariners will likely shut down pitcher Jarrod Washburn for the rest of the season because of a strained abdominal muscle according to the Associated Press. The 34-year-old lefty made a one-inning relief appearance Tuesday night at Kansas City, his first outing since hurting himself July 30 in a start at Cleveland. "I felt it warming up and on every pitch I threw, but I put up a zero and argued to stay in," Washburn said Wednesday. "(Trainer) Rick Griffin noticed I was changing my arm angle a little and that’s not something you want to see. You don’t want to mess with anything like that. You do, that you’re risking further injury. They’re smarter than I am. They said ‘no more.’ I guess I’m done for the year." Our View:Washburn lost his last five decisions as a starter after winning July 27 at Toronto. He is 5-14 with a 4.69 ERA. He has not been very effective since 2005 and we do not recommend him on fantasy rosters going forward. |
|
September 14, 2008 Jarrod Washburn, on the sidelines for the past couple of weeks with a torn abdominal muscle, could return to the hill on Tuesday, according to the Mariners Official Website. "He will possibly be available to pitch on Tuesday," Mariners manager Jim Riggleman said. "[Brandon] Morrow will start the game, but Wash might get some work out of the bullpen and we'll see how we can work him back into the rotation after that." Our View:Washburn is a terrible fantasy option even when healthy, so running him out there when he is less than 100% is pretty much suicide. |
|
September 7, 2008 The Seattle Times reports Washburn has a torn abdominal muscle with a small hole in it that will keep him out for at least a week. Our View:The soonest he will return is against the Angels next weekend. This seems like a good week to keep Washburn benched. |
|
August 30, 2008 Jarrod Washburn hurled 6.2 scoreless innings, with only three hits allowed, in Saturday's 4-3 win over Cleveland. He issued four walks but also had eight strikeouts. He exited the game with a 1-0 lead, but the Indians tied it in the ninth inning, and Washburn had to settle for a no decision rather than a win for his strong effort. Our View:He didn't win, but still snapped a five-game losing streak, and has something positive to build upon heading into September. |
|
August 18, 2008 Jarrod Washburn was blasted for eight runs on seven hits and two walks over 4 1/3 innings Monday in a blowout loss to the White Sox. Our View:Think the M's wish they would've bartered Washburn when they could have? The lefty has a 7.36 ERA in four starts since the deadline. |
|
August 15, 2008 Jarrod Washburn is upset that the Mariners weren't able to work out a deal with the Twins, according to the Seattle Times. The lefty has a home in Minnesota and would move from a cellar dweller to a contending team. "If the rumors are accurate, it's too bad,'' he said. "It would have been ideal. It would have been perfect. It would have gotten me to a place that's contending and it's in my own damn backyard.'' One rumor had the Twins offering up Boof Bonser in return. "If that was the case, how much more do you think you're going to get? A young guy with a great arm who's cheap.'' Our View:Washburn really hasn't had a very good year, but teams are still beating down the door to acquire him. The M's aren't going to get more than a guy like Bonser given Washburn's salary, so it appears Jarrod will remain in the Pacific Northwest. |
|
August 13, 2008 We are receiving reports that indicate Mariners' LHP Jarrod Washburn and outfielder Raul Ibanez were both claimed off waivers today, according to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports. Our View:The claiming teams are not yet known, but the Mariners have until 1:30 p.m. Thursday to work out a deal with those respective clubs. Rosenthal suggests the Rays may be seeking Ibanez but he fails to mention thoughts on Washburn. Once we get more news, we'll pass it along. |
|
August 13, 2008 Seattle couldn't get the offense going to support a strong pitching effort from LHP Jarrod Washburn, pitching seven innings to allow four runs (only one earned) on seven hits with no walks and three strikeouts. Our View:Washburn moves to 5-12 on the season, including a 4.58 ERA. He's suffered five losses over his last seven starts, though he's allowed four or more runs just twice during that span. |
|
August 11, 2008 Jarrod Washburn is on the White Sox radar following the loss of starter Jose Contreras, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Washburn was placed on waivers, and though he remains with Seattle, any team that wishes to trade for him must put in a claim and wait until Tuesday when the waivers expire. Our View:DJ Carrasco is expected to take Contreras' next turn in the rotation if the Sox don't acquire a replacement, like Washburn, who was 5-11 with a 4.76 ERA and 1.48 WHIP with Seattle this season. |
|
August 9, 2008 Seattle hurler Jarrod Washburn was put on waivers, and though he remains with Seattle, any team that wishes to trade for him must put in a claim and wait until Tuesday when the waivers expire, according to the New York Post. Our View:This means that Washburn could still be moved, and possibly to the Yankees. Either way, he holds little fantasy value. |
|
August 2, 2008 Jarrod Washburn allowed all of eight runs over his last four starts, but on this night he was pounded for six runs over 4.2 innings in his 10th loss of the season. Our View:Washurn's ERA skyrocketed to 4.77 as perhaps the letdown of not being moved to the Yankees got to him. Whatever happened it ended a run of eight outings in nine appearances in which he allowed two or fewer runs. |
|
July 31, 2008 SI's Jon Heyman is reporting that the Yankees may get Jarrod Washburn after all. The Mariners, at least according to Heyman, relented when they traded Arthur Rhodes to Florida, as the Hernandez offer had reportedly been on the table for weeks. The Yanks hope that since the M's relented on one trade, they may do so on another. Our View:The Yanks are offering to pick up the rest of the $14 million remaining on Washburn's contract through 2009 while also sending the M's a middling prospect. |
|
July 31, 2008 The Mariners apparently don't realize that Jarrod Washburn isn't that good. After a deal that would send the lefty to the Yankees died down, the M's asked the Rockies for outfielder Dexter Fowler and reliever Casey Weathers in exchange for Washburn, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Seattle also wanted starter Jon Niese and/or outfielder Fernando Martinez from the Mets. Our View:The Mariners aren't going to get anywhere with those kinds of demands. |
|
July 30, 2008 The Denver Post reports that the Rockies are interested in Jarrod Washburn. Our View:The club is also said to be interested in Josh Fogg and Tim Redding to shore up their rotation. |
|
July 29, 2008 A source in touch with the Yankees and Mariners said late Monday afternoon that a deal for Jarrod Washburn is not going to happen, according to the NY Post. "It's dead," the source said. "They want quality and want (the Yankees) to pay all the money, too. And that's not going to happen." Our View:The Post notes that there's still plenty of time to get a deal done, and given Washburn's salary, he is a candidate to be dealt after the non-waiver deadline. |
|
July 27, 2008 Jarrod Washburn, a name that has been rumored in trade talks this weekend, drove up his value on Sunday. He lasted eight innings and allowed four hits and two walks while giving up just one earned run. The run came off a John McDonald solo shot in the fifth. Our View:After a May that saw him post a 9.30 ERA, Washburn now has two consecutive months of less than a 3.00 ERA. Still, it's hard to believe that he has simply just become good again. Expect him to run out of gas at some point in the second half. |
|
July 26, 2008 Reports indicate the Yankees, while working as one of the busier teams in this year's trade market, are not done, actively seeking a deal to add lefty Jarrod Washburn , according to the Star Ledger. Our View:Dan Graziano reports the Yanks and Mariners continue to have serious discussions about a deal that would bring Washburn to the Bronx. The Yankees would like to put disappointing lefty Kei Igawa in the deal, but Seattle's not sold on him yet. The Mariners are looking for some outfield help, and the Yankees might talk about players such as Melky Cabrera, Brett Gardner or Justin Christian in the right deal. Seattle asked about Austin Jackson but was told no. Washburn does have a no-trade clause that would allow him to block a trade to the Yankees, but there's some sense that he would waive it for a chance at a pennant race. |
|
July 24, 2008 Jarrod Washburn will consider waiving his no-trade clause according to the Seattle Post Intelligencer. "I love it here in Seattle," he said. "But at the same time I love to win. I would have to strongly consider (waiving his veto) if it came to me." Washburn probably would most like to go to Milwaukee, his hometown. It's just not clear the Brewers have the ability to add another pitcher after having already traded for CC Sabathia. Rumors of a deal with the Yankees remain strong. Our View:With $14 million due over the next two seasons, the Mariners are eager to part with the veteran. Expect him to be dealt prior to the trade deadline. |
|
July 23, 2008 The Jarrod Washburn to the Yankees trade talk is gaining steam with the proposed deal now likely to include Jose Vidro, according to the Seattle Post Intelligencer. Our View:This deal is really about money as Washburn is due about $14 million over the next two seasons. The report centers around the idea of the Yankees swapping their high priced left handed failure, Kei Igawa, to the Mariners along with his $14 million in remaining salary. Stay tuned. |
|
July 22, 2008 The Yankees may be interested in Seattle starting pitcher Jarrod Washburn, reports Buster Olney of ESPN.com. Our View:Although this wouldn't be a blockbuster deal, Washburn has been throwing better the past two months. He has posted a 2.93 ERA in June and a 3.16 ERA in July. |
|
July 20, 2008 LHP Jarrod Washburn is set to return to the mound after missing eight days with the flu, according to MLB.com. Our View:The flu bug, which swept through the Washburn family during the All-Star break, has been conquered, and he said the illness cost him three pounds -- and postponed his first start of the second half by two days. Washburn returns to the mound on Monday night in the Mariners' series opener against the Red Sox. |
|
July 19, 2008 Rumors out of Seattle suggest several teams have contacted the Mariners and may be interested in trading for the services of LHP Jarrod Washburn , according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Our View:Washburn presents an intriguing commodity, touting one of the hotter hands in the league that happens to be attached to a left arm. Philly had called but is out of the picture following the trade for Joe Blanton. Any team in need of a solid lefty starter (and that's any team in contention for the playoffs) may be on that list as well. We'll keep you posted as more news becomes available. |
|
July 16, 2008 Over his last seven starts Jarrod Washburn has only two wins but he has allowed more than three earned runs only once in that time for the Mariners. Our View:Washburn certainly isn't likely to add much in the ratio categories, and his K total has never been anything to write home about either, but he is on a decent role of late which makes him worthy of starting in AL only leagues. |
|
July 12, 2008 The Mariners suffered the tough 5-4 loss to the Royals this evening, leaving a great outing from LHP Jarrod Washburn wasted. Washburn pitched six innings, allowing three runs (only one earned) on seven hits with one walk and one strikeout. Our View:Washburn walked with no decision and missed a shot to get his third win in four starts due to poor relief pitching. Washburn has lowered his walk totals over recent starts and seems to be rounding into form. |
|
July 8, 2008 Jarrod Washburn suffered his eighth loss of the season in an eight inning complete game against the A's on Monday night. Washburn allowed four runs on seven hits, walked none and struck out five. Our View:The death blow for Washburn was the two-run home run to first baseman, Wes Bankston, the first of his career. |
|
July 3, 2008 After a solid six inning start in which he allowed only two earned runs, Jarrod Washburn could be trade bait for teams in need of starting pitching depth, according to the Seattle Times. Our View:Washburn has lowered his ERA from 6.99 on May 21 to 5.08. He isn't a great option for fantasy teams at the moment, but getting traded to a team in the National League would increase his value. |
|
July 3, 2008 Seattle LHP Jarrod Washburn picked up his fourth win of the season, helping his Mariners earned the hard-fought 4-2 win over Toronto. Washburn pitched six innings, allowing two runs (both earned) on seven hits with two walks and four strikeouts. Our View:Washburn now sits at 4-7 with an ERA of 5.08. This is his second decision in his last five starts, going 1-1 through June, though he now touts consecutive wins. |
|
June 28, 2008 Jarrod Washburn enjoyed a solid outing in Friday's 5-2 win over the Padres, as he only gave up two earned runs on seven hits over 7.2 innings, with one walk and two strikeouts. Our View:He earned his third win of the season, and snapped a three-game streak of no decisions. He has allowed two or less earned runs in four-straight starts as well. |
|
June 15, 2008 Jarrod Washburn allowed two earned runs on eight hits over six innings in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Nationals in inter-league play, with four walks and two strikeouts. He ended his night with a no-decision. Our View:That was the sixth time that he allowed two or less earned runs in a game this season, but still holds a 2-7 record with a 5.83 ERA. |
|
May 29, 2008 The Tigers have feasted on left-handed pitching this year, so the Mariners will skip southpaw Jarrod Washburn in the rotation this weekend when the M's play Detroit, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Washburn has lost his last seven decision against Detroit, and he gave up nine runs in 2 1/3 innings when he faced them last week. Our View:The Mariners will go with Carlos Silva, Felix Hernandez and Miguel Batista this weekend, and Washburn will be pushed back to next Monday, when he will face the Angels. |
|
May 14, 2008 Seattle starter Jarrod Washburn earned his first career save as the Mariners defeated the Rangers 4-3 on Wednesday afternoon. Our View:Washburn was expected to start on Friday against the Padres so whether the Seattle rotation stays on schedule is a question yet to be answered. |
|
May 11, 2008 Not content to cruise along with a 2-5 record and 5.68 ERA, Jarrod Washburn has added a split-finger fastball to his arsenal. "He doesn't have that out pitch, and has been working on a split," manager John McLaren tells MLB.com. "At this stage of his career, maybe [the splitter] can make a difference for him." Our View:If this doesn't work, Washburn's next step may be the knuckleball. AL-only fantasy owners should hope this new pitch makes a difference. |
|
May 7, 2008 Jarrod Washburn was still sore on Tuesday but said his calf muscle felt as good as he'd hoped and that he'd make his next start, this according to the Seattle Times. Mariners manager John McLaren said after the game that he'd spoken to Washburn about his situation and is fairly confident the lefty will take the mound again on Saturday. Our View: Washburn felt the muscle "pop" late in his win Monday night. It was the same calf he'd torn to end his 2006 season, but there's apparently a big difference between the two injuries. "The last time I did it, there was a big hole in there," he said, adding that he could stick his finger through the hole in the muscle by pressing on it. The hole is smaller this time and Washburn said a team doctor who examined him before Tuesday's game told him scar tissue had torn away from the spot of his previous injury. There was also a ligament in the calf muscle area that might have torn and caused the popping sensation. |
|
May 5, 2008 Jarrod Washburn allowed three runs on four hits, walked none and struck out three as the Mariners beat the Rangers 7-3 on Monday night. Our View:Washburn pitched well in Safeco on Monday night and deserved the win. His offense gave him a big 7-0 lead after three innings allowing the left-hander to attach the strike zone. |
|
April 30, 2008 Jarrod Washburn allowed six runs, five earned, to fall to 1-4 on the season on Wednesday night. Washburn struck out a season-high seven batters but he also permitted six hits and two walks to pick up his third straight loss. Our View:Washburn is nothing more than an average AL Only starter at this point, and really, he shouldn't be in your rotation in a mixed leagues unless it is a very, very deep league. |
|
April 22, 2008 The Mariners have moved Jarrod Washburn and Miguel Batista up in the rotation, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Washburn will pitch on Thursday against the Orioles, and Batista will face the A's on Friday. Our View:Both hurlers will be working on a normal, five-day rotation thanks to the off-day on Monday. This news shouldn't really affect fantasy lineups. |
|
April 19, 2008 Jarrod Washburn had his worst game of the year as he allowed four runs in six innings to pick up his third loss. Washburn didn't walk a single Angel on the night, but he did allow 10 hits with only one K. Our View:Washburn continues to be a middling starting pitcher who is barely above replacement average in his performance. Honestly, he has no place on a mixed league staff at this point of his career. |
|
April 9, 2008 Jarrod Washburn put forth a stellar effort in support of Seattle’s 7-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Washburn the 105 pitches over seven innings, 65 counting for strikes, allowing just one run on six hits. Washburn now sits at 1-1 with a 3.00 ERA. |
|
March 24, 2008 Jarrod Washburn worked seven scoreless innings on Monday despite dealing with a sore lower back. Washburn will be one of those pitchers who likely gets shuffled between the starting rotation and free agency this season given his inability to pile up strikeouts or keep his ratios low. His margin for error is razor thin. |
|
March 3, 2008 Jarrod Washburn worked three scoreless innings in his first Cactus League start in the Mariners Monday afternoon loss to the Cubs 6-5. The Seattle southpaw surrendering four hits and struck out one in the loss. Washburn is a reserve in mixed formats and a back end starter in AL-only formats. |
