Well said, G. :)
Couldn't agree more that this is the exact kind of move the Mariners need to be making.
At first I had the gut reaction of a fan "damnit, we traded Washburn and didn't get a bat!"...I've been questing after bats all year. But Robles is a big time talent and I think French is a nice fungible rubber arm who can give us 140-180 solid4.5 - 5 ERA innings at zero cost. Good teams need those guys.
