Like Morneau, Crain languished in Triple-A for longer than seemed necessary. He
proved himself in the second half of 2003 at Rochester, then returned and was
more dominant this season.

Crain shut down IL hitters with two plus pitches, a 92-94 mph fastball that
tops out at 97 and a wicked 85-87 mph slider. It's his late-breaking slider
that's his strikeout pitch. He became more consistent at locating his fastball
down in the zone this year, setting hitters up for the slider.

"What was already a really good out pitch for him became even better than what
I saw last year," Cooper said. "That's the best slider in this league."
