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.

1st: FB (91-93), SL (80-83), CU (84-85)

2nd: FB (89-92), SL (79-82), CU (83-84)

3rd: FB (89-92), SL (78-82), CU (82-85)

4th: FB (88-91), SL (79-82), CU (84-85)

  • 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.

7th: FB (89-91), SL (78-81), CU (75-76)

  • 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.

4th: FB (87), Split (80)

5th: FB (87-89), SL (79-81), Split (79-81)

6th: FB (87-90), SL (78-79), Split (79-80)

  • Brandon Medders is a 6-1, 195 pound righty. The 29 year old has a medium frame that can add more muscle. He comes from an over the top release and shows a fastball with some sink and fade. His slider is a 2-7 pitch with good bite and his curveball is a 12-6 pitch with good depth. Borderline major league pitcher.

7th: FB (88-89), CB (70-72), SL (82-84)

8th: FB (86-89), CB (70-71), SL (80-82)

  • Justin Speier is a 6-3, 205 pound righty. The 35 year old has a medium to big frame that can add more muscle. He comes from a 3/4 release. His fastball has some fade and sink. 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.

8th: FB (89-90), SL (84), Split (81-82)

  • 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.

9th: FB (92-96), CB (78-80), CU (83-85)

  • 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.
