Eric Gagne, RHP, closer
	Gagne still throws the same pitches he did when we was a dominant steroid monster. He has a fastball, changeup, and curveball, with the occasional hard slider mixed in. He still gets good arm action on his changeup, which makes it very effective. Gagne has dropped about 6mph off his fastball since he began cycling down when the steroid policy kicked in. 4/15/08 CSJ

Manny Parra, LHP, starter

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 split-finger pitch is thrown to any batter, usually as a finishing pitch when he is ahead in the count. Manny also uses a curveball that he can throw for strikes to get ahead of hitters. Rumor has it that Parra uses a circle change, but I did not see any of those in his 4/11 start against the Mets. 4/15/08 CSJ

David Riske, RHP, reliever
	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

Ben Sheets, RHP, starter

Sheets is an injury prone ace. He has two simple, yet dominant pitches. He throws a low-90s moving fastball and a big, sharp curve. The fastball gets good boring action on RHs and will get some cut when thrown inside to LHs. When thrown low in the zone, the fastball will also get decent sink. Sheets' curveball is one of the best in baseball. It breaks with the classic 12-6 action, but bites hard. Sheets also tries the occasional changeup, only to LHs. His repertoire has never varied over the years. 4/15/08 CSJ

Brian Shouse, LHP, reliever
	Your typical sidearming lefty, Shouse has low velocity. His fastball doesn't usually break 80mph, but it has strange sinking action. His slider sweeps way across the plate, getting LH hitters to wave at it. He also has a changeup, but throws it exclusively to RHs in rare occasions. 4/15/08 CSJ

Salomon Torres, RHP, reliever
	Torres has become a real journeyman at this point. In 2007 he was retired, and now he's back with a contending team in Milwaukee. He still has the same bag of tricks though. At times, he has a dominant split-finger pitch that drops out of sight to LHs. He'll mix in a curveball as his breaking pitch. Nowadays he can get decent sinking action on his fastball. 4/15/08 CSJ
