The Book on Andrew Cashner
Prospect Info
Andrew Cashner
Born 9/11/1987
RHP, CHC
Texas Christian's ex-closer, Andrew Cashner has that perfect mix of electric 98mph fastball and nasty low-90's slider that everyone wants to see in a ninth-inning specialist. Of course, the Cubs already have two or three of those on staff, so it's possible that Cashner could be stretched into starting duty: he's already got the workable changeup and innings-eating frame to do that if needed. Whether it's as a spot starter or long reliever, it's likely that the Cubs will take a closer look at Cashner as early as late 2008.
