7/31: TOR @ OAK

1) Dallas Braden: 106 pitches. 3 strikes swinging. 2 Fastballs (1st, 3rd), Changeup (7th)

• Braden is a 6-1, 200 pound lefty. The 25 year old has a medium frame that can add a little more muscle. He came from an over the top release. His fastball has some late run in on lefties with sink. His change has some fade from righties and above average sink. His cutter has some cut while his slider is a 11-5 with solid bite that can look like a change at times. He will throw his change to lefties. Solid back of the rotation guy, probably a # 4 for a contender.
