Washburn Wants to Be a Brewer

By Dan O'Donnell

But do the Brewers want to sign him?  FOX Sports is reporting that Washburn has interest in pitching for either the Crew or the Minnesota Twins, thereby allowing him to finish his career close to home.

 

 

Minnesota and Milwaukee would both like to add veteran pitching. For Washburn, they hold the additional appeal of being located relatively close to his offseason home in Webster, Wis.

 

"The Twins and Brewers are both on the radar for me," Washburn said. "The thought of playing close to home has always appealed to me, and I think both of those teams would be good fits for me.

 

"I don't know yet if either of those teams have mutual interest, but we will see."

 

In other Brewers news, the Journal Sentinel's Tom Haudricourt tweets that it would be a "huge upset if Mark Mulder doesn't try his comeback attempt in the Brewers' spring camp."  Could these be the two starting pitchers that GM Doug Melvin was talking about in his season-ending press conference?  Would the Brewers really forego more expensive (and probably talented) options like John Lackey or Randy Wolf for one pitcher coming off knee surgery and another who hasn't thrown in two years?

 

We'll discuss on Brewers Weekly at 8:00 tonight.

If were spending $15 mill a season on Mulder and Scully...I mean Washburn...then we know that Melvin is suffering from Post Concussion syndrome. I agree with JDC that Washburn is one part of the solution and I bet Wolf is the other target (with Doug Davis being the alternate). I think Mulder is a risk pick that is great if he can plan and no big loss if he can't.

Dan, I think these 2 are part of it but the process would not end with these 2. Hopefully we include Lackey or Wolf and ultimately add 3 starters...
