3) Billy Sadler: 25 pitches. 3 strikes swinging. 2 Curveballs, Fastball.

• Sadler is a 6-0, 195 pound righty. The 28 year old has a medium frame that can get up to 205 at least. He came from a 3/4 release with real bizarre mechanics and is extremely herky jerky. He has a classic drop and drive, but really exaggerates his hip turn and his limbs are moving every which way. His fastball has some run in on righties. His curve is a 10-5 with average depth. His change is straight with a little sink that he will throw to righties and it is not very good. 4-A guy who just doesn't have great stuff.

4th: FB (90-91), SL (79-81) - SL

5) Wilton Lopez: 27 pitches. 1 strike swinging. Fastball.

• Lopez is a 6-0, 200 pound righty. The 26 year old has a medium frame that can add a little more muscle to his lower half. Athletic build. He came from a 3/4 release with a drop and drive delivery that was fairly clean. His fastball has good run in on righties and some sink. His slider is a sharp 2-7 with some bite. His change has some fade from lefties and some sink. Solid middle reliever who should force a lot of groundballs.

10) Doug Brocail: 15 pitches. 1 strike swinging. Fastball.

• Brocail is a 6-5, 235 pound righty. The 42 year old has a big frame that is maxed out. He came from an over the top release in fairly clean mechanics and showed a fastball with some run in on righties and some sink. His curve is a big breaking 12-6 with above average depth. His cutter has some cut. Solid middle reliever, though this is probably his last hurrah.

9th: FB (87-91), CB (77), Cut (87) - FB

11) Mike Gonzalez: 22 pitches. 2 strikes swinging. 2 Sliders.

• Gonzalez came from a high 3/4 release and showed a fastball with some run in on lefties and a sharp 11-5 slider with good bite.

9th: FB (93-96), SL (77-86) - 2 SL

• Chris Johnson is a 6-3, 220 pound third basemen. The 24 year old has a medium frame that is maxed out. He has a fairly straight up stance with a slight bent. His trigger is a shifting of weight and a cocking of the bat. Bat looks a little slow in this game, he either isn't seeing the ball well or has a slow bat. Very clean stance with little wasted motion. Looks like he should be a solid gap to gap hitter.

Chart Observations: 9/9 OAK @ CHW (Bottom 10 to End)

Chart Observations: 9/9 OAK @ CHW (Through Top 10)

1) Freddy Garcia: 87 pitches. (FB, SL, CU, Split, CB). 9 strikes swinging. 7 Sliders, Changeup, Splitter.

• Garcia is a 6-4, 260 pound righty. The 32 year old has a big frame that appears to be in more of the 240-250 range. His frame appears to have the ability to add more muscle to his lower body, but likely won't. He came from an over the top release with his typical windup and cocking action of the arm. His fastball has some run in on righties and a little sink. His change has some fade from lefties and above average sink. His split has slightly above average diving action. His slider is a big breaking 1-7 with good bite and more of a downward action pitch then a side to side offering that he will throw 3-2. His curve is a slow, big breaking 12-6 with above average depth. Solid # 5 starter, but he isn't the pitcher he used to be, but can eat innings for you.

2) Trevor Cahill: 74 pitches. (FB, CU, SL, CB). 5 strikes swinging. 3 Changeups, 2 Fastballs.

• Cahill came from a high 3/4 release and showed a fastball with good run in on righties that flashes Brandon Webb type sink at times, a change with some fade from lefties and some sink that he will throw to righties and it serves as his out pitch that he will throw in 3-1 counts, a 2-7 slider with okay bite that can flatten out at times and a power 1-7 curve with below average depth and can hang at times. He will also mix in a straight 4-seamer on occasion.
