James+Paxton+2011+XM+Star+Futures+Game+_GzwFuy8qhxl

James Paxton may prove to be the pivotal force in the Mariners rotation this year. Hampered by injuries early, this LHP from Delta, B.C. Canada still holds a 2.66 ERA and 1.133 WHIP in his 1st 17 MLB starts. This guy throws a fastball between 95 – 98 MPH and is a perfect mix after Hisashi Iwakuma and Felix Hernandez, and right before Taijuan Walker and J.A. Happ to add a nice combination of Right, Right, Left, Right Left Starter Staff.
