A's Extras (Plus a M and some Pads)

1) Kevin Cameron: Cut, SL, FB
5/25: 34 pitches. 4 strikes swinging. 4 Sliders.

• Cameron is a 6-1, 190 pound righty. The 29 year old has a medium frame that can add a ton more muscle. He is a lanky, skinny guy. He can add a lot more muscle to his lower half. He came from a high 3/4 release with clean mechanics. His cutter has some cut. His slider is a 2-7 with a little bite. He does not have enough to be a major league reliever.

2) Dan Giese: FB, SL, CU
5/6: 93 pitches. 6 strikes swinging. 2 Fastballs, 4 Sliders.

• Giese is a 6-2, 200 pound righty. The 32 year old has a medium frame that can add a little more muscle. He can add a lot more muscle to his lower half, as he has a very thin lower half. He came from a high 3/4 release with some cocking action and works from the stretch only. His fastball has a little run in on righties. His slider is a 2-7 offering with average bite. Classic tweener who just doesn't have the stuff to be a starter or the strong out pitch to be a reliever.

3) Clayton Mortensen: FB, SL, CU

9/4: 100 pitches. 5 strikes swinging. 4 Sliders, Fastball.

• Mortensen is a 6-4, 180 pound righty. The 24 year old has a big frame that can add a lot more muscle. He can add a ton of muscle to both his lower and upper half and has a lot of projection left. He came from a high 3/4 release with fairly clean mechanics, though he lands hard on his front leg and appears to over rotate his throwing shoulder. His fastball has good run in on righties and good sink. His slider is a power pitch that is a 1-7 offering with above average downward action. His change has some fade from lefties and some sink that he will throw to righties. I don't think he can be a starter and he could have a spot as a middle reliever in a bullpen.

4) Josh Outman: FB, CB, CU, SL
6/19: 25 pitches. 2 strikes swinging. 2 Fastballs.

• Outman is a 6-1, 185 pound lefty. The 24 year old has a medium frame that can add a little more muscle, but he does have a thick lower half. He has a drop and drive release with cocking action and came from a high 3/4 release. His fastball has some run in on lefties and some sink. His change is pretty straight with some sink. His curve is a 11-5 with above average depth. I like him and think he can be a 3, but he needs to recover full strength from TJS.

5) Denny Stark: FB, CU, SL

5/25: 20 pitches. 0 strikes swinging.

• Stark is a 6-2, 210 pound righty. The 34 year old has a medium frame that is an athletic build and a very thin lower half where he could add more muscle. He came from a high 3/4 release with fairly clean mechanics, though he is pretty scrunched up until break. His fastball has good run in on righties and solid sink. His change has some fade from lefties and some sink. He is a 4-A guy who should be able to be a cog in a pen, but just doesn't have the necessary command.

5th: FB (92-96), CU (86-88)

6) Wade Leblanc: FB, CU, CB

6/19: 63 pitches. 4 strikes swinging. 4 Changeups.

• Leblanc is a 6-3, 200 pound lefty. The 25 year old has a medium frame that can add a lot more muscle. He has a very thin, athletic build that can add a lot more muscle to his lower half. He came from a classic drop and drive delivery with pretty clean mechanics. He has a high 3/4 release. His fastball has some run in on lefties and some sink. His curve is a 11-5 with average depth that serves as his out pitch, but it doesn't have great movement or has good command of it. His change is pretty straight with good sink. He is an average pitcher, one whose stuff will play up because of his stadium and the league, but his best seasons will be ERA's of 4.50.

7) Josh Banks: Everything

6/19: 46 pitches. 2 strikes swinging. Fastball, Curveball.

• Banks is a 6-3, 210 pound righty. The 27 year old has a medium frame that can add a little more muscle to his upper body. He has an athletic build with a strong lower body. He has a classic drop and drive delivery and comes from a high 3/4, almost over the top release. His fastball has some run in on righties and some sink. His cutter has some cut and a little sink. His split has some diving action. His curve is a big breaking 12-6 with above average depth. His knuckle ball has some movement. An extra arm, organizational guy.

8) Michael Ekstrom: FB, SL, CU

6/19: 7 pitches. 1 strike swinging. Slider.

• Ekstrom is a 5-11, 190 pound righty. The 26 year old has a small frame that can add a little more muscle, mostly to the lower body. Athletic build with athletic lower half. He came from an over the top release with a weird cocking action that has his elbow move almost in a mini circle as he is ready to pitch, this puts a lot of extra pressure on his elbow. His fastball has some run in on righties and a little sink. His slider is a 2-7 with modest bite. He looks like he could be a middle reliever, but won't ever be anything more.
