Following a Former Thresher: Andy Baldwin

Remember Andy Baldwin? He was selected in the fifth round of the 2004 draft by the Phillies. He started 20 games for the Threshers last season after leaving the bullpen. He was traded to the Seattle Mariners as part of the deal that brought Jamie Moyer to the Phillies. Baldwin finished off the 2006 season with Inland Empire of the California League.

Baldwin began this season with the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx, which is the Mariners' Double-A affiliate in the Southern League. He has struggled so far in the win-loss column (0-2), but so has the rest of the team (10-15, last place). He is leading the team in innings pitched (29.1). In one of his losses he gave up only one run in five innings of work.
