Manny Parra, LHP, starter Sponsor this player for $40/year Parra has a simple, compact delivery that generates a low-90s fastball. He releases over-the-top, making his fastball very straight. However, with this over-the-top arm angle, he is able to use a diving splitter as a strikeout pitch. His splitter is thrown to any batter once he gets ahead. Manny uses a curveball that he can throw for strikes to get ahead of hitters. Parra also mixes in a straight changuep. 3/6/09 CSJ *fastball(89-95), curveball(74-79), splitter(79-84), changeup(85-87)

Mitch Stetter, LHP, reliever Sponsor this player for $15/year Stetter seems destined to be a lefthanded specialist in the majors. He throws from a low arm angle, making it an uncomfortable at-bat for LHs. He mixes his pitches between fastball and slider. 5/14/09 CSJ *fastball(84-87), slider(75-81)

Carlos Villanueva, RHP, reliever Sponsor this player for $20/year Villanueva primarily uses his fastball and changeup. Both pitches are fairly straight, with the changeup getting some natural cut. He also mixes in a slider in the low-80s, and will show a slow curveball. After years of trying his luck as a starting pitcher, Carlos seems to have taken to his bullpen role in Milwaukee. 5/5/09 CSJ *fastball(87-91), changeup(80-83), curve(71-76), slider(80-83)

Claudio Vargas, RHP, reliever/starter Sponsor this player for $10/year Vargas is the Mets latest fill-in starting pitcher. He throws a simple three-pitch repertoire of fastball, slider, and changeup. He'll vary his fastballs, throwing some running 2-seamers and a low-90s 4-seamer. Vargas' slider is a big breaker and he'll use his changeup to both LHs and RHs. 5/15/08 CSJ *fastball(87-93), slider(76-83), changeup(79-84)

David Riske, RHP, reliever Sponsor this player for $25/year Riske is a fastball/splitter pitcher. He has lost quite a bit of velocity over the last few years and now throws his straight fastball in the upper-80s. His split can sometimes float in towards the plate like a changeup, or sometimes get the desired drop. He used to throw sliders, and still may mix in a few. 4/15/08 CSJ

Yovani Gallardo, RHP, starter Sponsor this player for $50/year Gallardo, a Mexican born righthander, has two main pitches in his repertoire; fastball and curveball. His fastball seems extremely straight and hittable, but he spots it well. He also locates his curveball well and it has enough break and velocity to be tough to hit. Yovani also will show a changeup to LHs and a tight slider to RHs. While pitching out of the stretch position, Gallardo seems to lose a little on his fastball, falling to around 88-89 mph. Gallardo dominated the minor leagues and has quickly become the ace of the Brewers. 5/5/09 CSJ *fastball(88-95), curve(76-82), changeup(82-85), slider(83-87)

Trevor Hoffman, RHP, closer Sponsor this player for $50/year Hoffman owns a sinking changeup that misses bats. He'll paint corners with his straight fastball to set it up. Hoffman will also mix in a breaking ball when necessary. 8/14/08 CSJ *fastball(84-86), changeup(71-74), curve, slider(81)

David Bush, RHP, starter Sponsor this player for $40/year Bush is a righthander that pitches like a lefthander. He deals an upper-80s, moving fastball that he spots well. He backs that up with a slider that he can vary. He'll tighten the slider when coming inside to LHs, and sweep it more when throwing it away from RHs. Bush throws a good curveball and mixes in lots of changeups to LHs. Bush pitched collegiately at Wake Forest, where he was a dominant closer. 4/18/09 CSJ *fastball(86-90), slider(80-86), changeup(79-83), curve(65-69)

Jeff Suppan, RHP, starter Sponsor this player for $40/year Suppan will mix up his pitches like it's his job. He throws lots of fastballs that he'll sink, vary the speed on, or even attempt to blow by a hitter at 91 mph. Suppan uses a splitter for his off-speed pitch, usually around 80 mph and sinking. Suppan will also throw sliders and curves. His curve gets 12-6 action and is very slow. His sliders can vary between 80-85 mph and be his only effective weapon at times. 6/18/09 CSJ *fastball(85-91), slider(81-86), splitter(79-83), curve(71-74)

Todd Coffey, RHP, reliever Sponsor this player for $20/year Coffey is a big man who throws a hard, heavy, sinking fastball. It's a pitch he relies on most of the time. His second pitch is an average slider that doesn't prove very effective. Coffey's thick 6' 5" frame will also mix in the occasional split-finger pitch. 4/18/09 CSJ *fastball(91-95), slider(81-83), splitter(87)
