Thus far-bad deal and it matters little what Washburn has done since. Trading a savvy but short-stuffed pitcher for a hack (and I mean it, ZERO projectible offerings) makes sense only in a salary dump. Locals will compare and crow though that attitude is at the least hypocritical. They don't allow for small samples, different defense, parks etc. when describing anyone else, but its fine when trashing Washburn. Same with Lopez, compare remarks about his batting line to Beltre's, compare where his hr's go over the fence to Ichiro, its ridiculous. Yet very few people call out this extremly biased "analysis" for what it is: selective homerism.
