Mirowski traded for the popular PTBN
The Wild Things finalized a trade Monday, sending pitcher Richie Mirowski to the Amarillo Thunderheads of the American Association for the ever-popular player to be named. Amarillo is currently in fourth place in the five-team South Division with a 29-33 record and is eight games out of first place.
Placed on the suspended list last week, Mirowski had an 0-3 record with one save and a 4.76 ERA in 19 games (two starts). Mirowski had 42 strikeouts in 28 1/3 innings. The Wild Things seemed to save Mirowski for potential International Tiebreaker appearances rather than using him regularly in the seventh or eighth innings as a setup reliever.
Mirowski is one of the multiple players with Class AA experience the Wild Things brought in for spring training who is no longer with the team. He also is the third of the group to be traded to the American Association for a player to be named, which means the Wild Things will likely be getting nothing in return (see the post on this blog last month about player-to-be-named trades with teams from other leagues). By my count, Mirowski is the 29th player Washington has dealt for a PTBN and is still owed something in return.

The old revolving door. Just about the time you begin to think
you like a player - he's gone! One thing about the WT's is a new roster
change almost everyday and, a never ending change of jersey numbers. The person in
the announcing booth can't keep track even when there are no changes. After
all the mistakes he makes i's a wonder he gets anything right. Anyway, what difference, at this point, does it make? Is Steve Z still working at the WT's?
I guess he is because the team is still losing.
