<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Andrew Cashner, the Chicago Cubs' first-round pick in 2008, was excellent, working from 93-98 mph -- half of his first 10 fastballs were 96 or better -- with a hard slider with very good tilt from 83-88 mph. His arm action is pretty short, although it looked like he had a slight wrist-wrap. He worked quickly and went right after hitters, but his fastball command was only fair, and given his performance this year in the minors I'd still project him as a reliever, but a top-flight one.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
