The Tigers apparently got what they needed, a [[reasonabily) durable pitcher who can go deep in a game, and the Mariners got two pretty good prospects for a pitcher that [[in the 3rd year of a very expensive 3 year contract) finally began to deliver on his potential after 2 1/2 injury plagued years. The M's probably weren't going to sign him anyway, and being from the midwest, the Tigers at least have a chance.

So, my question as a Mariner fan is what can you tell me about Luke French besides he dueled Washburn in a 2-1 M's win July 23rd. And just as important, is Mauricio Robles as good as his press clippings?
