Jair Jurrjens, RHP, starter Sponsor this player for $45/year Jurrjens has three pitches, and seems to get the most out of them. His fastball doesn't overpower anyone, but he's smart with it. His second pitch of choice is his changeup which gets good sinking action, making it difficult on LHs and RHs alike. He also has a big slider that he'll use to any hitter. He seems to cock his hand funny at the bottom of his arm circle during his delivery. He can also speak English, Spanish, Dutch, and Papiamentu. 5/14/09 CSJ *fastball(87-95), changeup(79-84), slider(78-82)

Rafael Soriano, RHP, closer Sponsor this player for $40/year Soriano is a hard thrower, stolen by the Braves for Horacio Ramirez. He mixes a cutting, blazing fastball and a big slider. He does own a changeup, but usually saves it for tough LHs. 5/26/09 CSJ *fastball(90-95), slider(81-84), change(84-86)

Tommy Hanson, RHP, starter Sponsor this player for $25/year Hanson, a 22nd round draft pick out of community college, has made himself into one of the top prospects in baseball. He owns a running, low-mid 90s fastball that has proven to be a plus pitch. He'll try and locate the fastball on both sides of the plate in a given at-bat, unafraid to pitch inside. However, Hanson is best known for his breaking stuff. He throws a curveball that gets sharp downward break, and he shows a tendency to use this pitch against LHs. Against RHs, Tommy will tighten this pitch up just a bit, giving it more slider action. Both pitches get tons of movement and are swing-and-miss offerings. Hanson's fourth pitch is a changeup that he throws just a few times per outing. 8/6/09 CSJ *fastball(89-95), slider(79-84), curve(74-77), changeup(81)

Kris Medlen, RHP, starter/reliever Sponsor this player for $15/year Medlen wasn't much of a prospect, until this spring, when he began the year by going 5-0 with a 1.19 ERA at AAA Gwinnett. The Braves called him up and he has filled in at both starter and reliever. Medlen uses a low 90s fastball to get ahead of hitters, then flips his 12-6 curveball that disappears off the plate, or runs his changeup away from LHs. 8/19/09 CSJ *fastball(90-94), curve(78-81), changeup(80-83)

Tim Hudson, RHP, starter Sponsor this player for $50/year Hudson lives off of his 2-seam sinker, which is one of the best in the league. It's a pitch he can paint corners with and duck under bats. He throws a sharp slider in the low-mid 80s as his secondary pitch. Hudson's splitter, a pitch he is known for, is usually in the mid-80s and sinking considerably. Hudson will also throw a slow curveball and has experimented with changeups in the past. 10/23/08 CSJ *fastball(89-94), slider(81-87), split(81-85), changeup(79-83), curveball(72-75)

Eric O'Flaherty, LHP, reliever Sponsor this player for $10/year O'Flaherty is a young lefthander that is trying to solidify himself as a late inning reliever. He pitches just over 90 MPH, and shows what looks like a deceptive changeup. In the past I've noticed Eric deal a big hook and sharper slider as well. O'Flaherty is from Walla Walla, Washington. 8/19/09 CSJ *fastball(89-92), changeup(81-84), slider(81-85), curve

Peter Moylan, RHP, reliever Sponsor this player for $25/year Moylan is a sidearm pitcher from Australia. He throws a sweeping slider to go with a moving fastball. He shows abnormally high velocity for a sidewinder. Moylan figured out he could bring it as a sidearm pitcher while playing in an Australian beer league. 5/14/09 CSJ *fastball(87-93), slider(76-82), changeup(76)

Manny Acosta, RHP, reliever Sponsor this player for $15/year Acosta is a hard throwing Panamanian. He has a good fastball, albeit very straight. He has shown a sharp curveball and a fairly straight changeup to LHs. Acosta's biggest problem is his overall lack of command. 8/19/09 CSJ *fastball(90-96), curve(77-84), changeup(83-87)

Jorge Campillo, RHP, starter/reliever Sponsor this player for $15/year Campillo is a soft-tossing Mexican, who predictably is a little short on stuff. He features his junk; a floating changeup, tight slider, and big curve. In certain outings, I have noticed Campillo throw fewer fastballs than each of his other offerings. 10/23/08 CSJ *fastball(83-88), changeup(72-77), slider(80-84), curve(68-72)

Mike Gonzalez, LHP, closer Sponsor this player for $40/year Gonzalez had been losing velocity for years, so his 2007 TJ surgery may have been his best option. Now he's bringing a 93mph fastball consistently, and busting RHs inside with his slider. He is also dropping in a slow curveball and letting up on a few straight changeups. If he keeps pitching like he did in late '08, trading Adam LaRoche for him was an absolute steal. 5/14/09 CSJ *fastball(90-95), slider(82-86), curve(75-77), changeup(82)

Derek Lowe, RHP, starter Sponsor this player for $50/year D-Lowe is basically a two pitch sinkerballer. He spots his 2-seamer low in the zone or in the dirt to get groundballs. Lowe will also use a slider to either side of the plate. The slider is a sharp pitch that he'll use often. Lowe also owns a changeup that will usually move like his fastball, and be only a few MPH slower, but it's rarely thrown. Lowe has brought back his old cutter, and will try a few per game in order to stay keep LHs guessing. 9/16/09 CSJ *sinker(87-91), slider(80-84), changeup(82-85), cutter(87)

Javier Vazquez, RHP, starter Sponsor this player for $45/year Vazquez varies his breaking balls well, throwing his curveball anywhere between an ephus-like 60 MPH to 79 MPH. His slider gets fairly tight break at times, especially when he tries to bury it inside on LHs. Vazquez' changeup was his best pitch when he was with Montreal, then he seemed to have lost command of it with the Yankees, and now it's back with the White Sox. Vazquez has also attempted splitters at different times in his career. Lastly, Javier's fastball still has good movement and low 90s velocity. 8/19/09 CSJ *fastball(87-94), slider(81-87), changeup(78-83), curve(60-79), splitter

Kenshin Kawakami, RHP, starter Sponsor this player for $45/year Kawakami has been brought to Atlanta to help rebuild their starting rotation. He was a Japanese Central League veteran, and one of the best pitchers in Japan over the last six years. Kenshin owns what looks like a heavy 90 mph fastball that gets some sink. Kawakami uses a cutter often. Strangely, he prefers to backdoor the cutter to LHs, often with two strikes in an attempt to get backwards Ks. Kenshin's strikeout pitch is his splitter, a good change of pace that can duck under bats. Lastly, he'll mix in a very slow curveball around 70 mph. His only "plus" pitch appears to be the splitter, making him somewhat hittable. Kawakami does have excellent command though, and appears to be ahead of most hitters mentally. 5/26/09 CSJ *fastball(88-93), cutter(86-89), splitter(83-86), curve(67-72)

Buddy Carlyle, RHP, reliever Sponsor this player for $15/year Buddy is a pitcher. He tries to spot fastballs, break off some spinners, and pull the string on hitters. His stuff is underwhelming, but can be effective at times. His fastball sits around 90 mph, flying fairly straight. He then uses a very tight slider away to RHs and inside on the hands of LHs. His changeup gets decent sink and he'll show the occasional 12-6er. 5/26/09 CSJ *fastball(86-92), slider(83-87), changeup(79-83), curve(76)

Boone Logan, LHP, reliever Sponsor this player for $10/year Boone has the standard left handed reliever repertoire of fastball, slider, and changeup. His fastball velocity is improving, and he's relying on it more often to get outs. Against LHs, he will consistently pepper the outside corner with a fastball/slider combination. While against RHs, he relies more on his changeup. Despite his improved stuff, Logan is basically Scott Schoeneweis, which doesn't bode well for him. 8/19/09 CSJ *fastball(89-94), slider(79-84), changeup(84)

James Parr, RHP, reliever/starter Sponsor this player for $10/year Parr deals the standard four pitches and none of them look like a plus pitch. His minor league results have been intriguing though, as he's been fairly successful at every level. Morton usually works with his fastball and changeup, mixing in breaking balls when he has strikeout opportunities. 5/28/09 CSJ *fastball(88-92), changeup(77-81), slider(78-82), curve(70-73)

Jeff Ridgway, LHP, reliever Sponsor this player for $10/year Ridgway is an ugly, hard throwing lefthander. His fastball flies in the low-90s, and he offers the standard slider and changeup as secondary pitches. Ridgway was drafted out of high school in Washington state. 9/17/08 CSJ *fastball(92-93), slider(82-83), changeup(83-84)

Jo-Jo Reyes, LHP, starter Sponsor this player for $15/year Jo-Jo owns a basic repertoire. He uses his straight fastball inside and outside to hitters, backing it up with a standard slider. His changeup is hard, often only 5mph slower than his fastball. Jo-Jo also mixes in a few slow curveballs. Yo Jo. 5/28/09 CSJ *fastball(87-91), slider(79-83), changeup(81-82), curve(72-74)
