L.A. signs starting pitcher Devin Washburn
The Los Angeles Spinners continue to spend the off-season working to bolster their starting rotation and with the recent news that their start veteran Jason Wilson did indeed sign elsewhere, they have now added another unheralded (though admittedly, not quite as talented) veteran right-hander in Devin Washburn.
Washburn has pitched the last several years for the San Francisco Velocity, in a home park even more pitcher friendly than L.A.'s Avalon Park but he remains a solid, middle-of-the-rotation arm and has proven himself to be something of an Iron Man when it comes to durability. It looks like he'll be slotted into the #4 spot in the rotation and with his addition the Spinners do appear to once again have a pretty deep rotation, though much still depends upon staff #1 Eduardo Obando's ability to stay healthy for a full season.
