If you could creat a dream pitcher by using 5 pitches from anone in the game today, who/what would they be?
Question:Fastball/Cutter: Mariano Rivera-Just edges Zumaya. It has been his only pitch for the last 10 years, yet no one can hit it. It's mid 90's with a ton of movement and he can spot it
Change: Johan Santana-The key pitch for the most dominant pitcher the last 3-4 yrs. Cole Hamels is a close second, but he can't control it like Santana
Curve: Daniel Cabrera-His power curve has a great Wiff Rate (.513) because it is thrown with a high velocity (85 mph) and doesn't lose it's movement. K-Rod is a close second
Slider: Fernando Cabrera-Here is the surprise of my list. If you have yet to see it in person you are missing out. He has the one of the best Wiff Rates in the majors (.625 in 2006) despite the fact that it was only thrown for a strike 26% if the time. That's how much movement it has
Sinker: Brandon Webb-I'd want a pitcher with a sinker so he can induce a ground out if needed. Right now Webb has the best, but Carmona could overtake him with more outings like he had today

If i were you, i would have some more trick pitches to throw the batters off guard. Like the eephus, which is a old pitch, that when at it's best, curves 33 inches. Or a knuckle-curve of mike mussina and a slurve from Dontrelle Willis.Who,s pitching for the yankes now adays?
I would have to throw Tim Wakefield's Knuckle ball in there also. When he's on he is unhitable.More Questions & Answers...
