Rest of Pirates Extras (Plus Edwin Moreno)

1) Craig Hansen: FB, SL, CU.
4/7: 37 pitches. 3 strikes swinging. 3 Sliders.

• Hansen is a 6-6, 225 pound righty. The 25 year old has a big frame that can add a little more muscle everywhere. He came from a 3/4 release working predominately from the stretch. His mechanics were pretty clean. His fastball has some cutting action in on righties. His slider is a sweeping 2-7 with good bite. Solid reliever who can battle his command. If he refines his command, he should be a solid middle guy.

7th: FB (92-94), SL (82-85) - 2 SL (Thurston - 2)

8th: FB (90-92), SL (81-84) - SL (Ankiel)

2) Tyler Yates: FB, SL, CU.

4/24: 6 pitches. 0 strikes swinging.

• Yates is a 6-4, 250 pound righty. The 32 year old has a big frame that appears to be maxed out. He came from a high 3/4 release working predominately from the stretch with fairly clean mechanics. High effort delivery. His fastball has some run in on righties and a little sink. His slider is a hard 2-7 with solid bite. Solid middle guy if he recovers from his injury.

8th: FB (95-96), SL (90)

3) Edwin Moreno: FB, CU, SL, Cut.

4/24: 23 pitches. 0 strikes swinging.

• Moreno is a 6-1, 220 pound righty. The 29 year old has a medium frame that appears to be maxed out. He came from an over the top release with pretty clean mechanics, though he has a head jerk. His fastball has some run in on righties and a little sink. His change has good fade from lefties and some sink. His slider has a hint of 2-7 bite. Has a shot to be an okay middle reliever.
