10th: FB (91-96), Cut (91-93) - 2 FB, Cut.

• Kyle Phillips is a 6-1, 225 pound catcher. The 25 year old lefty hitter, righty thrower has a medium frame that appears to be maxed out. Has a straight on stance with a slight crouch and almost what appears to be a hunched upper body. He has the bat held over his shoulder at about a 65 degree angle. His trigger is a cocking of the bat and a stride. Has a good looking swing that should generate at least gap power, if not home run power. He can hit plus fastballs and didn't look overwhelmed against Verlander. He was 1.7 on a stolen base and has a quick release, which helps make up for an average throwing arm.

Chart Observations: 8/30 TOR @ BOS

1) Paul Byrd: 83 pitches. (FB, SL, CU, CB, Cut). 1 strike swinging. Slider.

• Byrd is a 6-1, 190 pound righty. The 38 year old has a small frame that won't be adding any more muscle. He came from a high 3/4 release with his typical lots of moving parts delivery with a lot of unnecessary motion, but nothing that adds more stress. His fastball is a 2-seam with some run in on righties and some sink. His cutter has some cut and some sink. His slider is a sweeping 3-8 offering with okay bite. His change is just a straight change that is 7 or 8 miles per hour slower that he will throw to righties. His curve is a 1-7 offering with below average depth. Will throw any pitch in any count and am not going to break down the specifics of when he threw off-speed in fastball counts, as there are too many instances. Looks like a # 5 starter and innings eater. You don't want him starting a game in the playoffs.

3) Manny Delcarmen: 12 pitches. (FB, CB, CU). 0 strikes swinging.

• Delcarmen came from an over the top release and showed a fastball with some run in on righties and good sink, a change with good late sink that looks like a fastball out of his hand and a sharp 1-7 curve with slightly below average depth.

4) Shawn Camp: 13 pitches. (FB, CU, SL). 1 strike swinging. Slider.

5) Billy Wagner: 16 pitches. (FB, SL, CU). 5 strikes swinging. 3 Fastballs, 2 Sliders.

• Wagner is a 5-11, 205 pound lefty. The 38 year old has a small frame that won't be changing any. He came from a 3/4 release in his same delivery he has utilized in his career with no changes. His fastball has some run in on lefties and some sink. His slider is a 11-5 offering with good bite. He looks to be back to his old self and still has all around disgusting pitches.

8th: FB (93-95), SL (83-84) - 3 FB, 2 SL

6) Jesse Carlson: 12 pitches. (FB, SL, CU). 4 strikes swinging. 2 Fastballs, 2 Sliders.

2) Brett Cecil: 85 pitches. 5 strikes swinging. 2 Fastballs (1st, 3rd), 2 Sliders (both in 3rd), Changeup (5th)

• Cecil is a 6-2, 225 pound lefty. The 23 year old has a medium frame that is maxed out. He came from a high 3/4 release and straightens his arm on the backtake, almost pointing it to the SS position, which may tip his pitches to the hitter. His fastball has some run in on lefties. His change has some fade from righties with a little sink. His slider is 11-5 with good bite while his curve is 11-5 with average depth. Looks like a # 4 starter right now with the potential to be either a # 2 or a dominant lefty set-up man. I bet he becomes a solid # 3 starter.

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.

BOS @ TOR

1) Clay Buchholz: 103 pitches. 9 strikes swinging. 3 on Fastballs (2nd, 3rd, 6th), 5 on Changeups (2 in 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th) and a Curveball (5th)

• Clay is a 6-3, 190 pound righty. The 24 year old has a medium frame that can add quite a bit more muscle and get up to at least 205. He comes from an over the top release with a classic drop and drive delivery. His fastball has above average run in on righties with a little sink. His change moves exactly like his fastball, just slower and serves as his out pitch. It can be flat on occasion, but he will throw it to righties. He likes to throw it away to both righties and lefties and let them swing through it. His curve is a big breaking 12-6 with above average depth and it is sharp with the ability to be a strikeout pitch. His slider is a sharp 2-7 with above average late bite. He works painfully slowly on the mound. He threw a lot of 1st pitch fastballs for strikes until they started to get more aggressive, then he worked in 1st pitch changes and curves for strikes. He can throw strikes with all his pitches and can bounce his curve when necessary. He has above average command of his 4 above average pitches, though he can leave the occasional fastball up. Still a future ace in my eyes.

• Romero came from a high 3/4 release and showed a fastball with some run in on lefties, a change with good fade from righties with good sink that serves as his out pitch, a 11-4 curve with above average depth that is sharp enough to be a strikeout pitch and a 11-4 slider with good bite. At least a # 2 starter, possible ace down the road.

2 Charts and a doubleheader tomorrow. Awesome.

Chart Observations: TOR @ TB

1) Marc Rzepczynski: 105 pitches. 9 strikes swinging. 4 on Fastballs (2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th), 3 on Sliders (1st, 2nd, 6th) and 2 on Changeups (1st, 6th)

• Marc (not even going to try and respell or pronounce this cats name) is a 6-1, 205 pound lefty. The 23 year old has a medium frame that is close to being maxed out. He has a drop and drive delivery with a 3/4 release. He puts a lot of pressure on his back leg and pushes off very well. His slider is a slurvy 10-4 with solid bite. He throws 2 different types of fastballs: a straight 4-seam and a 2-seam with great run in on lefties and solid sink. His change has great sink and a little run in on righties, but it's break can be inconsistent and it can be straight. He has a lot of confidence in himself, willing (and preferring) to throw 3-2 sliders. He can struggle to finish his pitches and leave any of his pitches in the armside batters box. He has good stuff, but did start to tire as the game went deeper. He has flown through the Jays system, pitching all last season at low A and pitched at AA and AAA before making the bigs this year. I think his ceiling is that of a # 4 starter, but I think his best role is as a LOOGY, as the Rays lefties were extremely uncomfortable in the box against him.

2) Brandon League: 10 pitches. 1 strike swinging. Splitter.

• League comes from a 3/4 release and shows a fastball with excellent run in on righties and some sink and a split with excellent late dive. Watching him pitch, you always how wonder how his stats are as bad as they are. If he can find command, he can be a dominant closer.

TOR @ PHI: TOR

• Brad Mills is a 5-11, 185 pound left hander who made his major league debut. The 24 year old has a small frame that should be able to get up to 200. He comes from an over the top release from a herky-jerky windup. He looks away and his glove hand comes up above his head right before his release. He has limbs going everywhere and almost looks to try and go as fast as possible from the beginning of his wind-up to the end. He works very fast and generates good deception. He has the arm action of a Ubaldo Jimenez, straightening it on the backtake and accelerating forward with some cocking action. His fastball is a 4-seam that has a little sink and run. His curveball is a big breaking 11-5, 12-6 pitch with good depth, but is not an out pitch. His change is a straight change that can float at times. He tends to miss up in the zone, which is not good for a pitcher of his stuff. He is primarily CB-CU with some fastballs mixed in. He will throw 3-2 changes and threw one with the bases loaded. His command is erratic. Think a left handed Josh Geer and that is what you see. # 5 starter at best who needs to refine his command.

• Shawn Camp comes from a 3/4 release with a fastball with good sink and run, a change with good sink and fade and a sweeping 3-8 slider with solid bite. Solid middle reliever.

4th: FB (87-89), SL (79-80), CU (80-82)

• Dirk Hayhurst is a 6-2, 195 pound righty. The 28 year old has a medium frame that can add a lot more muscle. He comes from an over the top release where his arm appears to be dragging. His slider is a 1-8 pitch with good bite. His fastball is a straight 4-seam that he hides well. His curveball is a big breaking 12-6 with good depth and his change shows some good sink and fade and he will throw it to righties. More of a swingman then an inning reliever.

5th: FB (88-89), CB (73-75), CU (76-78), SL (81-83)

• Jesse Carlson is a sidearmer whose fastball has good run in on righties and some sink and a sweeping 9-4 slider with good bite. Good # 1 lefty.

6th: FB (88-89), SL (78-85)

• Brandon League comes from a 3/4 release and shows a fastball with some run, a 2-7 slider with great bite and a splitter with excellent dive.

8th: FB (93-94), SL (85), Split (87)

• B.J. Ryan comes from a high 3/4 release with a 11-4 slider that has good bite and a straight 4-seam fastball. He has been reduced to LOOGY duty.

9th: FB (87), SL (80-83)

• Jeremy Accardo is a 6-1, 190 pound righty. The 27 year old has a medium frame that can add a little more muscle. He comes from a high 3/4 release. His fastball is a straight 4-seam that can have some cut and his slider is a 2-7 offering with decent bite. He has a herky-jerky delivery with limbs flying everywhere. Hard to tell if he is still a big league pitcher.

9th: FB (90-91), SL (85)

Chart Observations: ATL @ TOR

• Jair Jurrjens is a 23 year old who stands 6-1, 200. His medium frame has room to add a little more muscle. From an over the top release, he featured a fastball at 87-95 (sat at 90-92), a changeup at 78-83 and a slider at 77-80. He has very clean mechanics is deceptive. He brings his hands slightly over his head and also hides the ball by having his glove hand separate high and cover his release point until the last second. His changeup has excellent fade and a little sink. It isn't a strikeout pitch, but will cause the balls to be hit in play lightly. An above average pitch that is borderline plus. His fastball has a little fade and some sink and is slightly above average. His slider is more of an up and down pitch and is a solid 3rd pitch and also slightly above average. He is a strong # 3 starter and think he is pitching to his upside right now, as his frame doesn't show a ton of projection left and he already has plus command.
• Scott Richmond is a 29 year old who stands 6-5, 215. He has a big frame that can add more muscle and get to at least 230 if he so desires. From an over the top release, he showed a fastball at 87-92, a slider at 82-85, a curveball at 74-78 and threw 1 change at 85. He has a classic drop and drive delivery. His curveball is a big breaking 12-6 pitch that can freeze hitters. Above average pitch, but does have a tendency to allow home runs on it (2 in the first inning on the CB). His slider is a 2-7 offering and is above average with good depth. Likes to start it on the outside corner and let it break off, causing many swinging strikes and weak contact. He generates a good downhill plane for his pitches and his fastball has natural sink. His changeup is a pretty straight offering and is just a show pitch.
• Jesse Carlson is a 28 year old who is 6-0, 160. Medium frame with long legs and has room to add more muscle. The sidearming left hander showed a fastball at 89 and a slider at 81-83. The slider is a sweeping pitch with some downward movement and cuts across most of the plate. His fastball also has good side to side movement with a little sink. He throws across his body, allowing him to generate even more deception.
• Peter Moylan showed a fastball at 86-89 and a slider at 76-78. His fastball has great fade and a little sink. His slider doesn't have a ton of break either way. It can be somewhat sharp, but is just an average offering. He generates good deception and is more of a submariner then a sidearmer. He really battled his command today. He looks like he could be a solid ROOGY with his release, but he looks more like a 10th or 11th man in the pen.
• Eric O'Flaherty is a 24 year old who stands 6-2, 220. The left hander has a medium frame with room to add more muscle, mostly in his lower half. From a high 3/4 release, he featured a fastabll at 92, a slider at 83-85 and a changeup at 82. His slider is a 10-5 offering and is a sweeping slider with great downward movement, bite and depth and is close to being a plus pitch. His changeup has some sink, but no fade and is fringy. His fastball is a straight 4-seam. Is a solid LOOGY to have in a pen and looks like he could be good enough to be the # 1 lefty in a pen.
• Jeff Bennett is a 28 year old who stands 6-3, 200. He has a medium to big frame that is maxed out. From an over the top release, he showed a fastball at 92 and a slider at 87. His fastball shows some good fade. His slider was a 1-7 type pitch that hung more then it broke. This guy looks done from the two outings I have seen.
• Shawn Camp is a 33 year old who stands 6-0, 205. He has a medium frame that looks to be maxed out. From a low 3/4 release, he featured a fastball at 86-87, a slider at 78-80 and a changeup at 81. He has some whipping arm action. His slider is sharp, but doesn't have a lot of movement. His fastball has above average fade and some sink. His changeup moves just like his fastball and is an average offering. He is a guy who looks to be a 10th or 11th guy in a pen.
• Jason Frasor is a 31 year old who stands (shockingly) at 5-9, 175. He has a small frame that looks to be maxed out. From a high 3/4 release, he showed a fastball at 92-94, a slider at 84-86 and a splitter at 84-86. He has a drop and drive delivery from the stretch with a leg kick. Fastball has a little fade to it, but not a whole lot. His split shows some sharp break and good fade. Slider is a sharp 2-8 offering. Decent depth and more downward movement then side-to-side. Solid right handed reliever who is best in a middle relief role, but won't kill you as a setup guy.
• Rafael Soriano showed a straight FB at 90-93 and a 2-7 slider at 81. from a high 3/4 release. His slider was decent, but not as sharp as two nights ago.
• Brandon League is a 26 year old who stands 6-2, 200 pounds. He has a medium frame with room to add more muscle, especially in the lower half. From a low 3/4, almost sidearm, release he showed a fastball at 94-96, a slider at 85-87 and a changeup at 83-85. His changeup shows very good fade and a little sink and is an above average offering. His slider is a sharp 3-7 offering with good depth and is a tick above average. His fastball has decent fade, but not much sink, though it has a lot of action out of his hand. Solid middle reliever right now and if he can continue to work through his command (a tick above averaeg right now), he could be a set-up man.
• Manny Acosta is a 28 year old who stands 6-4, 170 pounds. He has a long and lean frame with room to add a ton more muscle. From an over the top release. he showed a fastball at 91-97 (sat at 94-95), a curveball at 78-83 and a changeup at 84. His fastball is a 4-seam with natural sink due to him generating a good downhill plane through his delivery. His curveball is an 11-5 offering with good sink, but doesn't appear to be a strikeout pitch. His changeup has good depth and fade and is an above average offering. He adds and subtracts velocity from his curveball depending on what he wants it to do. Solid middle reliever who still has the look of a set-up man to me.
