No one really thought he could do that.
And yeah, Gaub - along with Parker - has been awesome. We really do have a shit load of quality, high level reliever prospects.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
From everything I had heard Cashner was basically a fastball-slider guy built for the pen, so yeah it's surprising to me too. He must have another pitch or two that I'm not aware of. I wonder what his fastball velocity is like as a starter, I'd guess the 93-96 mph range.

A "guru"-type guy on another board I read says that out of the pen his FB 98+, but as a starter he sits 93-94.
