At least there haven't been a lot of runners on base when Washburn has allowed big flies.<br />CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-18508735482953765012009-08-24T13:34:02.456-04:002009-08-24T13:34:02.456-04:00Fred Brill,

He doesn't walk a lot of guys. That's the good part.<br />CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-5452290406834284422009-08-24T13:32:52.893-04:002009-08-24T13:32:52.893-04:00Michael C,

Obviously, it's his Achilles Heel as a player.<br />CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-43465601035872588062009-08-22T01:36:36.280-04:002009-08-22T01:36:36.280-04:00Hey Pat, Washburn WHIP believe or not is only 1.20...Hey Pat, Washburn WHIP believe or not is only 1.20, I guess he is giving up too many homers to justify the high ERA so far with the Tigers. Could be worst, French’s Whip with Seattle is 1.80 so far. So it is still an upgrade. He can't do any worst right? I still cool with Cabrera with his OBP of 400 and maybe he is a patient hitter like Jeff Larish is (OBP minor career of 380).

While the Tigers will unveil the true answer...Pat,<br /><br />While the Tigers will unveil the true answers as this season plays out - I just wanted to give my answer on your six questions:<br /><br />1. I see no sign of Washburn rising to the challenge. But the Tigers Top 3 instead wll be Verlander, Jackson and <b>Porcello</b>!<br /><br />2. As with Q1, I see no signs of of Cabrera getting better on the road - it's in his head.

And can he at least stay over the Medoza line against lefties?<br /><br />And certainly Ordonez's play and contract status is one of the biggest storylines of the rest of the season.Michael Cnoreply@blogger.com
