Jarrod Washburn returning to Mariners?

By Mark J. Miller

“JarrodTrying to do everything it could to win the American League Central, the Detroit Tigers traded two young pitchers to the Seattle Mariners for Jarrod Washburn(notes) right at the deadline this year. That didn't work out for them: He went 1-3 in eight starts and collected a 7.33 ERA. Oh, and a knee injury that put him under the knife on Oct. 20.

And now after all that the lefthander may be returning to play for Seattle, according to the Detroit Free Press. The 35-year-old free-agent lefty has apparently told the M's that Seattle is on the top of his list of teams to play for in 2010.

Washburn was a whole lot better for Seattle than he was for Detroit. He went 8-6 with a 2.64 ERA in 20 starts for the M's and was the American League pitcher of the month in July with Seattle.

    Is it me or has Detroit pretty much empitied their minor leagues the last couple years in some really bad deals?
    Farnsworth, Renteria, Willis, Washburn, etc.
    I know they got Cabrera also but what were they thinking giving away all those great pitching prospects for the rest of the has-beens? Acting like the Yankees from the late 90's and early 2000's.

    There has been an outflux of pitching prospects in the last couple years. Many have yet to become MLB talent but our return has been dismal. I would trade any prospect for Miguel... so in the end its all worth it. plus Miller can't pitch in the Arizona Fall League, let alone the bigs, and Cameron Maybin hasn't lived up to anything.. yet... Edgar for Jair Jurrgens of course has been the eye sore. Since he was top 10 or so in ERA in the NL last year..
    Signing Willis was the mistake. But Jacobson for Huff might bite us in the end. Unless he hits like a maniac next year. Overall.. its the signings of Nate, Jeremy and Dontrelle that has hurt, not the prospects we traded away.

    Say it ain't so ... M's don't need Washburn. He was a terrible Bavasi signing along with Silva, Batista, and Weaver. Basically, he had a few good months out of a 4 year contract. And that was enought to get a bit of value.

    Yes about a year ibnto this scam I said if you are going to commit this surveillance crime then I would like to transcribe books make patents formulas and recipes and when this thing comes to an end and you are caught I will want my film --books --patents and formulas--and I have a patented formulas concerning parimutual playing concerning dog racing and horse racing that is very valuable indeed and will keep dog racing from going extinct and provide a large amount of money to my family and I need Cassandra Montoya who wass married to me over this surveillance because uncle knew she would not be interested in me and could keep her away from me and make me look like a fool. However I believe she is not the criminal type but she is the only one I know who is aware of this surveillances existence as he is very secretive and very manipulative and is a lawyer. I would recieve this surveillance if I was married and he has spent the last 8 t years keeping me womanless. I did not want him commenting or harrassing any woman so I have not dated as only Cassandra could possibly stop this because I am made to look delusional and unappealing. He knows every step I take -every word I speak and I am having a good deal of difficulty getting this sex predator scam artist removed from my life

    Looks like Illich is tightening his purse strings . Giving money to Dumbrowski for free agent signings is like giving a loaded gun to a 4 year old , besides that he would rather invest in the casino business. I don't see much improvement from the Tigers next year . Probably not much will happen for at least a couple of years .

    Adios to WashRag. His heart wasn't in Detroit from the start. Can't blame D.D. though, at least he tried. Fans would be angry if he didn't make any moves too...he can't win. Let's focus on improving the bullpen and getting another stick to play LF. If Maggs can have a comeback season and Grandy gets his AVG back to .300 we'll be competitive. Go Tigers in '10.
