Ian Snell, RHP, starter
	Ian Snell is from Delaware and has the ability to rack up Ks. He owns a hard fastball and two different breaking pitches. He prefers his curveball, a hard breaking pitch that could pass as most pitcher's slider. Snell's slider is a very tight breaker in the mid-upper 80s. Ian does have a changeup, but rarely uses it. 5/14/08 CSJ *fastball(88-92), curve(79-82), slider(85-86), change(82-84)

Tyler Yates, RHP, closer
	Yates is a hard thrower with suspect command. He has a mid-90s fastball and a hard slider that can also touch 90mph at times. His stuff looks dominant, but he hasn't been able to harness it in the majors as of yet. He may show a rare changeup to LHs. 5/14/08 CSJ *fastball(93-96), slider(88-89), changeup

John Grabow, LHP, reliever

Grabow throws a good fastball that can reach the low-90s. From the left side, that looks like real smoke coming out of the bullpen. He uses his changeup to both RHs and LHs. The changeup is fairly straight, but he gets deception with his good arm action. He has what looks like a sharp slider, but he still prefers his changeup as his secondary pitch. 5/14/08 CSJ *fastball(88-91), changeup(80-84), slider(83-86)

John Van Benschoten, RHP, reliever/starter

Van Benschoten is used as a pitcher now, as opposed to when he was a bat-pimpin' slugger at Kent State. He tries to act like a pitcher too, throwing a sinking fastball and mixing in breaking balls and a changeup. He likes to vary his fastball from a 2-seam sinker to a 4-seam strikeout pitch. His breaking balls appear to get similar movement, but he definitely varies them distinctly enough to distinguish the two as sliders (79-85mph) and curveballs (mid-70s). 5/14/08 CSJ *fastball(89-93), slider(79-85), curve(74-76), changeup

Tom Gorzelanny, LHP, starter

Gorzelanny has good fastball velocity for a lefthander, around 90mph. He uses his changeup often, to both RHs and LHs as well. The changeup is hard, usually in the low-80s, and fairly straight. Tom will then mix two different breaking balls, a loopy curve and a tight slider. He'll vary the velocity and tilt on his curveball anywhere in the 70s. Gonzo will rarely use his tight slider. 7/24/08 CSJ *fastball(87-92), changeup(81-85), curve(71-78), slider(83)

Franquelis Osoria, RHP, reliever

Franqui is a unique character. Like the great Antonio Alfonseca, Franqui has an extra digit on his pitching hand. Osoria even looks a little like Alfonseca out there. Despite the extra digit, it is still possible to read his grips when he's pitching and I can tell you that he relies on many sinking fastballs to get outs. He throws from a low 3/4 arm angle that creates good movement. His second pitch is a changeup that acts much like his fastball, just at 7-10mph slower. Franqui does have a slider that he shows on occasion. 5/14/08 CSJ *fastball(84-91), changeup(80-83), slider(80)

Zach Duke, LHP, starter

Duke has a full four pitch repertoire, and uses all of his pitches often. He throws a moving fastball around 90mph that doesn't overpower hitters. Duke has a straight changeup, unafraid to throw it to both RHs and LHs. The curveball is a standard big breaker, while Duke mixes in sweeping sliders. He'll vary his slider anywhere between 77-85mph, using it both as a chase pitch for LHs and a bust pitch for RHs. 7/30/08 CSJ *fastball(86-91), curve(71-76), slider(77-85), changeup(80-84)

T.J. Beam, RHP, reliever
	Beam has a tall, slender pitcher's body. His fastball has decent velocity but is straight as an arrow. He has shown a slider as a secondary pitch and a split-finger offering as a distant third pitch. 8/12/08 CSJ *fastball(90-93), slider(83-86), splitter(86)

Sean Burnett, LHP, reliever
	Burnett has an awkward, jerking delivery usually reserved for righthanded pitchers. He deals a 90mph fastball and a dropping slider. In limited viewings, I have yet to witness an offspeed pitch from Burnett. 8/19/08 CSJ *fastball(89-92), slider(78-81)

Ross Ohlendorf, RHP, reliever

Ohlendorf has good velocity. He has a mid-90s fastball that runs in on RHs. There is no wasted motion in his delivery, just a small kick and a short hesitation before he pours in his heater. He owns a slider that gets good downward break and is hard to lay off. Ross will show a sinking changeup to LHs on occasion. Stuff-wise, Ohlendorf looks like an MLB pitcher. 5/10/08 CSJ *fastball(90-97), slider(81-86), changeup(82-86)

Craig Hansen, RHP, reliever
	Hansen was a top relief pitching prospect out of St. John's University. His major league performance just hasn't been very good yet. Hansen throws hard, dealing a short-armed fastball that sits in the mid-90s with some natural cut. Hansen breaks off upper-80s slidepieces as his second pitch. I have not seen a changeup of any kind. 8/19/08 CSJ *fastball(93-98), slider(84-90)

Denny Bautista, RHP, reliever
	Bautista throws extremely hard. His fastball sits mid-90s and touches near 100mph. His slider can even touch 90mph due to his high velocity. He has shown a straight changeup and a hard breaking curveball as well. 5/1/08 CSJ *fastball(90-100), slider(85-91), changeup(88), curve(81-84)

Jason Davis, RHP, reliever
	Davis is basically a fastball/splitter/slider pitcher. Due to his ineffectiveness, he has tried changeups and curves at different points in his career. It looks like he has gone back to his basics though, and is dealing these three pitches in 2008. His stuff can get some crazy movement at times. 8/19/08 CSJ *fastball(88-94), splitter(82-87), slider(78-83)

Jeff Karstens, RHP, reliever
	Karstens has always produced at the minor league level, and is finally getting a solid shot in Pittsburgh. His fastball is average, and looks fairly straight. He'll mix in a standard assortment of changeups, sliders, and curves, while keeping his walk totals down. 8/19/08 CSJ *fastball(84-91), changeup(76-81), slider(78-82), curve(73-76)

Romulo Sanchez, RHP, reliever
	Sanchez is a hard thrower, bringing a straight, mid-90s heater to the mound. He'll mix in lots of changeups, a soft pitch that he'll ease his motion to throw. Batters may be able to pick up on this. Romulo also throws a slider that he obviously doesn't have much confidence in. 8/30/08 CSJ *fastball(92-94), changeup(84-87), slider(82-84)

Paul Maholm, LHP, starter

Maholm keeps it real simple. He throws the basic four pitches and tries to stay ahead of the hitters. His fastball gets some classic lefthanded tailing action. Maholm's changeup is fairly hard, sometimes differing only a few MPH from the fastball. Maholm will use his slider inside to RHs, attempting to bury it at their back ankle. His curveball is dropped in against any hitter. 8/30/08 CSJ *fastball(87-91), changeup(84-86), curve(73-76), slider(81-82)
