John Lackey is the new Jarrod Washburn
Angels blog — Padres Mariners Baseball History has a way of repeating itself when it comes to top Angels pitchers. Jarrod Washburn won 75 games as an Angel before heading into free agency at age 31 and landing in Seattle, where he is 27-48 with a 4.36 ERA. Rumor has it he will end up in Philadelphia or with the Dodgers at some point this summer, which would be a nice break for the left-hander.

He improved his chances for being named the starter in the NL All-Star Game, and he hit his first career homer. It's all just part of an incredible season for Haren, who has surrendered only 15 walks against 113 strikeouts, a reflection of his evolution as a pitcher. "I just trust any pitch in any count," Haren wrote in an e-mail Tuesday night. "I don't throw 95 mph anymore, but I can throw a curveball or cutter 3-0. Not being afraid of contact is a big part of my game too. Roy Halladay is my favorite pitcher and I'd like to think I'm a poor man's version of him -- just subtract 2-3 mph." Haren, of ...
