His change has some fade from righties with some sink that he will throw 2-0 and 3-2 and he will throw it to lefties. His slider is a 11-5 pitch with okay bite. His curve is a 11-5 offering with slightly below average depth. 4-A pitcher.

• Marte is a 6-2, 265 pound righty. The 28 year old has a medium frame that is maxed out. He does have some bad weight. He came from an over the top release with pretty clean mechanics, though it is a max effort delivery. His fastball has some run in on righties, but can straighten out. His change has some fade from lefties and some sink. He has a power 12-6 curve with below average depth that is sharp. He has the looks to be a solid middle reliever, though his fastball command isn't very good.

Chart Observations: 8/18 LAA @ CLE

1) Trevor Bell: 109 pitches. 5 strikes swinging. 2 Fastballs (2nd, 3rd), 3 Changeups (2nd, 3rd, 5th)

• Bell is a 6-2, 186 pound righty. The 22 year old has a medium frame that can get up to at least 205. He is real skinny with very skinny legs. He has a classic drop and drive delivery and kicks his lead leg out at the hitter. He has a fast windup with little wasted motion. He came from an over the top release and showed a fastball with some run in on righties and a little sink, a 2-7 slider with okay bite and a change with some fade from lefties with some sink and it flashed good sink. I think his future is in the pen, where he can be a solid middle reliever.

His fastball has a little run in on righties. His change has good fade from lefties with good sink that is his best offering and he will throw it to righties. His cutter has some cut. Solid middle reliever.

• Todd came from a 3/4 release and showed a cutter with above average cut, a 2-7 slider with good bite and a 2-seam sinker with good run in on righties and good sink. He liked to throw the sinker away from lefties and liked to throw the cutter away from righties.

9th: FB (90-92), Cut (90-92), SL (84-86)

8) Brian Fuentes: 12 pitches. 0 strikes swinging.

• Fuentes came from a 3/4 release and showed a 10-4 slider with good bite, a fastball with a little run in on lefties and a change with some late fade from righties with sink.

• Danks came from a high 3/4 release with a fastball with some run in on lefties with sink, a cutter with 11-5 movement with solid cut, a 11-5 curve with solid depth and a change with good fade from righties with solid sink.

He came from a high 3/4 release with a fastball with some run in on righties with some sink, a straight change with some sink that he will throw to righties and a 2-7 slider with above average bite. He will throw 3-2 sliders. Santana's stuff has taken a big step back from last season, as his slider has flattened a little and his fastball velocity is down. As he is now, he is more of a # 4 or # 5 and whether he can regain his prior stuff will determine if he becomes a better pitcher.

6) Jhonny Nunez: 6 pitches. 0 strikes swinging.

• Nunez is a 6-3, 185 pound righty. The 23 year old has a medium frame that can get up to at least 205. He has a 3/4 release with a fastball with some run in on righties and a cutter with marginal cut and flashes sink. Didn't impress to much and looks to be a guy that will be bouncing around.

9th: FB (92), Cut (87-88)

7) Kevin Jepsen: 23 pitches. 2 strikes swinging. 2 Fastballs.

• Jepsen came from an over the top release and showed a straight 4-seam that flashes a little run in on righties, a cutter with good cut flashes sink that is beginning to look like a 2-7 slider and a sharp 12-6 curve with average depth.

9th: FB (95-97), Cut (89-91), CB (82)

LAA @ SF: Pitchers

• Jonathan Sanchez is a 6-2, 190 pound lefty. The 26 year old has a medium frame taht can add a lot more muscle. He comes from a 3/4 release and his stuff is nowhere near where it was last year. His fastball is a straight 4-seam that appears to have lost a couple miles per hour of velocity. His slider is a 9-4 pitch that no longer has great bite and is more slurvy. His change shows some fade and sink and is now his best off-speed pitch. He can battle his command from pitch to pitch and outing to outing. The Giants may need to sell now while he still has value, as he is now just a # 5 starter. He could be a dynamite reliever if he returns to the mid 90's with his fastball.

• Sean O'Sullivan was very impressive in his major league debut. He is a 6-2, 230 pound righty. The 21 year old has a medium frame that is maxed out and he is carrying some bad weight. He may have a gut and needs to work some of that bad weight off and he will likely see his velocity rise. He comes from an over the top release. He has a classic drop and drive delivery with a moderate head jerk. His fastball is a 2-seam sinker with some sink and fade and is more comparable to Mike Pelfrey as opposed to Brandon Webb. His slider or curveball (it is one pitch, just not sure which one), is a 3-9 type pitch with good bite, though it can also just float to the plate. His changeup shows great fade and sink and will throw it to both righties and lefties and even throw it inside to lefties. It flashes plus. He did an excellent job of keeping the ball down at the knees all night and rarely missed up. A guy that could grow into being a # 3 starter.

• Justin Miller is a 6-2, 200 pound righty. The 31 year old has a medium frame that can add a little more muscle. He comes from a 3/4 release and shows a fastball with some fade and sink, a 2-7 slider with decent bite and a split with some good dive and is average. Solid reliever, but more of a 10th or 11th guy in a pen.

His slider is a 3-9 offering with good side to side movement. His splitter shows good dive and he has solid command of it. Solid middle reliever.

• Jason Bulger is a 6-4, 210 pound righty. The 30 year old has a big frame that can add a lot more muscle. He comes from a high 3/4 release. He showed a fastball with some fade and sink. His curveball is a power 12-7 pitch with good depth. His change has some sink and a little fade. The command of all his pitches are very inconsistent. Middle reliever is his upside and he is close to it now. He is a major league pitcher if he is throwing strikes.

• Jeremy Affeldt is a 6-5, 225 pound lefty. The 30 year old has a big frame that can add quite a bit more muscle. He comes from a high 3/4 release and shows a fastball with some fade, a 11-4 curveball with good depth and a straight change with some sink. Good middle reliever who can face both righties and lefties.
