• Pineiro is a 6-1, 200 pound righty. The 30 year old has a medium frame that is maxed out. He came from an over the top release. His fastball is a 2-seam with some run in on righties with solid sink. His curve is a 1-7 with slightly above average depth. His cutter has good cut and some sink. His change has some fade from lefties that he will throw to righties. Good # 4 starter.

5) Ryan Franklin: 16 pitches. 2 strikes swinging. Cutter, 2 Curveballs.

• Franklin is a 6-3, 190 pound righty. The 36 year old righty has a medium frame that can add more muscle. He came from a high 3/4 release and showed a cutter with good cut, a split with above average dive, a 1-7 curve with average depth and a fastball with good run in on righties with some sink.

11th: FB (91-92), Cut (87-90), CB (77-78), Split (84)

6) Jason Motte: 22 pitches. 3 strikes swinging. 2 Fastballs, Splitter.

• Motte came from an over the top release and showed a 4-seam (94-98) with a little run in on righties, a 2-seam with some sink in addition to run (89-92) and a split with okay dive.

12th: FB (89-98), Split (78-81)

7) Blake Hawksworth: 47 pitches. 3 strikes swinging. Fastball (13th), 2 Changeups (both in 14th)

• Hawksworth is a 6-3, 195 pound righty. The 26 year old has a medium frame that can get up to at least 210. He came from a 3/4 release with a max effort delivery that appears to put extra pressure on his shoulder. His fastball has some late run in on righties with sink. His cutter has good cut. His change has some fade from lefties with sink and he will throw it to righties. I think he fits best as a reliever and may be able to hold up in 2 inning outings and be a bridge to your setup men as a middle reliever.

13th: FB (91-95), Cut (87-89)

14th: FB (91-95), Cut (88), CU (82-84)

15th: FB (91-94), Cut (85), CU (82-84)
