TOR @ PHI: PHI

  • Joe Blanton comes from an over the top release with a 4-seam fastball with a little run, a change with good fade and a little sink that he will throw to righties, a sharp 2-7 slider with solid bite and a big breaking 12-6 curve that can be just a floater. Struggled with his command today and was behind quite a bit.

1st: FB (87-92), CB (76), SL (81-85), CU (81)

6th: FB (90-92), SL (79-80), CU (81-82)

  • Chan Ho Park came from a 3/4 release and showed a fastball with good sink and fade, a slider with good bite that was a 2-7 pitch and a 12-6 curve that had good depth.

6th: FB (91-96), SL (84-89), CB (81-84)

7th: FB (92-94), SL (82-87)

  • J.C. Romero came from a high 3/4 release and showed a straight 4-seam fastball, a straight change and a slurvy 10-4 slider.

7th: FB (89-93), SL (79), CU (80-81)

  • Clay Condrey comes from an over the top release and showed a 1-8 slider with good bite, a cutter with good cut and some sink and a fastball with good run and sink. Struggled to get ahead and keep the ball down.

8th: FB (89-91), SL (82-86), Cut (88-90)

  • Tyler Walker is a 6-3, 265 pound righty. The 33 year old has a medium frame that is maxed out and looks to have some bad weight, as he labors through his delivery. Hs comes from an over the top release. His fastball is a 4-seam with some run. His slider is a 2-7 pitch with good bite and his change has some sink and fade. Should be a serviceable middle reliever.

8th: FB (89-92), SL (82-85), CU (79)

  • Ryan Madson comes from an over the top release and showed a fastball that was a straight 4-seam, a cutter with good cut and a change with great sink.

9th: FB (95-96), Cut (90-91), CU (85)

  • John Mayberry Jr. is a 6-6, 230 pound man beast. The 25 year old has a big frame that can add a little more muscle. He has a slightly closed and crouched stance with a bat tap. His trigger is a stride and a cocking of the bat. He has good bat speed, but his swing can get a little long. He is a slightly above average runner, though he will probably be average as he continues to add muscle. He has above average raw power and a plus arm from the outfield. He has all the tools to be an everyday player, but he is not yet ready. He needs some more seasoning at AAA to improve his pitch recognition and keep a consistent swing.
