Frank Francisco, RHP, closer Sponsor this player for $35/year Francisco throws a fastball, splitter, and curveball. He has good velocity on his fastball, though it's very straight. His curve is a powerful 12 to 6 breaking ball, usually thrown hard in the upper 70s. His splitter can be fairly straight at times and act like a changeup, but it gets enough velocity difference from his fastball to be effective. 9/16/09 CSJ *fastball(91-96), splitter(85-88), curve(77-80)

Neftali Feliz, RHP, reliever Sponsor this player for $25/year Neftali Feliz is ranked as one of the best prospects in the game. And after watching the Dominican right hander pitch, it's easy to see why. He owns a fastball that touches 100 MPH and can be unhittable. Neftali can also break off a devastating curveball in the low 80s. Feliz' third pitch is an upper 80s changeup that would pass as a good 2-seamer for most pitchers. Feliz is currently dominating out of the Texas bullpen, but is still looks at as a future starting pitcher. 8/19/09 CSJ *fastball(95-100), curve(80-82), changeup(89)

C.J. Wilson, LHP, reliever Sponsor this player for $30/year CJ has claimed that he throws a legit gyroball. He does throw a few different breaking pitches, however, I still don't know exactly what this gyroball is supposed to be. Wilson begins most at-bats with his low to mid 90s fastball, absolute gas for a lefthanded pitcher. Then he goes to his breaking stuff. Wilson still seems to prefer his slider, a sharp breaking pitch in the mid 80s, as the second option. He also owns a cutter that he likes throwing inside to RHs, and a curveball. I haven't seen a changeup from Wilson in a while, but I'm sure he's throwing it. I remember the pitch being very straight, if not cutting. Wilson reads the Tao Te Ching regularly, and considers himself straight-edge. X. 9/11/09 CSJ *fastball(92-96), slider(82-87), cutter(91-93), changeup(82-83), curve(79)

Scott Feldman, RHP, starter Sponsor this player for $20/year Feldman completely remade himself in 2008. In 2007, he was a sidearmer, but now he is throwing from a high 3/4 arm angle, and delivering a 12-6 curveball. His fastball still gets some tailing action and he throws lots of cutters off of it. His fourth pitch is a sinking changeup. He's obviously going to do whatever it might take to stay in the big leagues. 3/6/09 CSJ *fastball(88-93), cutter(87-92), curve(71-78), changeup(80-85)

Matt Harrison, LHP, starter Sponsor this player for $20/year Harrison is a big, hard throwing lefthander. His fastball sits in the low-90s and can get some sinking movement. Despite the velocity, he's not overpowering. Harrison will mix in sharp sliders and straight changeups. He'll use his changeup to both RHs and LHs. Harrison has thrown a AA no-hitter and owns the distinction of being traded for Mark Teixeira. 8/6/08 CSJ *fastball(87-95), changeup(79-83), slider(82-87), curve(76-77)

Doug Mathis, RHP, reliever Sponsor this player for $10/year Mathis has a basic starting pitcher's repertoire. He throws a 4-seam fastball in the low-90s and a 2-seamer a few mph slower. Mathis will mix in two different breaking balls; a slow 12-6 type curve, and a sharper slider. Dougie also shows a straight changeup to LHs. 6/16/08 CSJ *fastball(88-91), slider(83-85), curve(73-78), changeup(81-83)

Derek Holland, LHP, starter Sponsor this player for $20/year Holland is a hard throwing left hander from Ohio. He was drafted out of community college in Alabama, and put together two dominating minor league seasons before Baseball America named him Texas' second best prospect. His fastball consistently flies between 92 to 94 MPH, with some decent arm side run. He backs that up with a slider that appears to get good sweeping action and a sinking changeup. Derek will mix in the occasional slow curveball as well. 8/19/09 CSJ *fastball(89-94), slider(78-83), changeup(81-85), curve(72)

Tommy Hunter, RHP, starter Sponsor this player for $10/year Hunter is a big man. His fastball is a low-90s pitch that gets natural cutting action to either side of the plate. He throws a hard curveball that he'll vary the velocity and tilt with. Hunter will show a changeup to try and keep batters honest, but it's his power curve that determines his success. 8/7/08 CSJ *fastball(88-94), curve(76-84), changeup(85-86)

Warner Madrigal, RHP, reliever Sponsor this player for $10/year Madrigal is a hard thrower out of the mold of his teammate, Frank Francisco. Warner throws a hard, mid-90s fastball, a splitter, and a slider. His splitter can often look like a changeup when he overthrows it. 8/7/08 CSJ *fastball(93-96), splitter(84-88), slider(84-88)

Darren O'Day, RHP, reliever Sponsor this player for $10/year O'Day deals a moving fastball and slider, both from a 1/2 arm angle. The velocity on his fastball is lacking, but it's the sidearm motion that creates enough deception to get outs. His slider seems surprisingly flat compared to other sidewinders. 8/19/09 CSJ *fastball(83-88), slider(75-79)

Dustin Nippert, RHP, starter/reliever Sponsor this player for $10/year Nippert shows a big arm at times, often touching the mid 90s with his fastball. Dustin has gotten more and more comfortable with his changeup, and will use it as his favorite secondary offering, even to RHs. The improvement in his changeup may be the reason he felt comfortable scrapping his old slider. Nippert uses a good 12 to 6 curveball for his breaking pitch. 9/16/19 CSJ *fastball(89-95), changeup(80-87), curve(74-79)
