Erick Threets, LHP, reliever
	Threets is a tall lefty. He has a decent over-the-top fastball in the low-90s. He mixes in sliders and a straight changeup. 4/8/08 CSJ

Merkin Valdez, RHP, reliever
	Merkin is a hard thrower. He has a mid-90s fastball but not much of a breaking ball or offspeed pitch. His slider seems flat and he'll use a splitter to LHs. 4/8/08 CSJ

Keiichi Yabu, RHP, reliever
	Another Japanese import, Yabu throws a moving fastball. His slider is tight, slightly cutting away from RHs. He has shown a sinking split-finger pitch as his offspeed delivery. 4/8/08 CSJ

Barry Zito, LHP, starter

Barry Zito is a nice guy. He does yoga and gives money to injured veterans. Unfortunately his fastball is slow and his changeup looks like a little league pitch. In his prime, he pumped in a 92mph fastball and was tough to hit. Always known for his curveball, the pitch has become a lob that is hard to throw for a strike. A couple years ago he added a tighter breaking ball that he uses like a slider to LHs. I actually feel bad for him, because most likely there is nothing he can do to recapture his lost velocity. 4/8/08 CSJ

Jonathan Sanchez, LHP, starter
	Sanchez relies on his fastball and changeup to get hitters out. He has plus velocity, but can have trouble finding the strikezone at times. The lefty shows a curveball, usually away to LH hitters. 6/16/08 CSJ *fastball(85-94), changeup(82-86), curve(79-82)

Billy Sadler, RHP, reliever
	Sadler has shown me a good fastball and a biting curve in limited appearances in '08. 6/16/08 CSJ *fastball(91-94), curve(77-80)
