What about Jarrod Washburn?

Left handed, below average resume, below average team...Did not give up a thing in eight innings.

Sound familiar?

Sound familiar? Much better comparison, Carpenter was just being Carpenter - not a surprise at all if he stays healthy.

Like Lee, he was not drafted in most leagues either.

Sound familiar? Uhhh, no. It was Mariners-Twins and I believe Perkins also pitched a good game. Should we hope he's this yr's Lee?

Let's see what either one does against Texas!

Washburn has started off strong before.
