For my $0.02 ... I have an inkling that when it shakes down, Furbush could be the late-inning lefty in April ...
The centered pitches are a little easier to get away with for 1, 2 innings - plenty of relievers around the league get away with lots of, um, 'challenge' pitches - if a hitter hasn't seen Furbush for a month, and he's seen Jason Vargas that day, he is a little more likely to pop up the 93 fastball out and over...
M's want him to throw 150 IP in AAA and get his release point down, but unless Robles steps up, I don't see who else the Mariners have from the left side...
