I play on All-Star with sliders I've been tweaking for a couple years now. My suggestion would be to go check out the different sliders people have posted and mix and match with them until you find something that works.

Don't worry about the questions - I'm happy to help. I will stress though that the search function can be your best friend. With as long as this site has been here, chances are that any question you think of has been discussed and solved. :D

Thanks again for checking this out - hope you enjoy it!

Hinshaw Done for Season, Sosa Joins Team

SAN JOSE, Calif. - The San Jose Giants, the High-A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants, announced to-

day that pitcher Alexander Hinshaw will miss the remainder of the season with a torn PCL.

Hinshaw, 25, was first drafted by the Giants in the 29th round of the amateur draft in 2002; but the

left-hander chose to pursue a college career at San Diego State instead. The Giants went after Hinshaw

again in 2005, this time in the 15th round of the June draft.

So far this season, Hinshaw has posted a 1-2 record with a 4.15 ERA in 26 innings. He has punched

out 23 while walking just five.

With room available on the roster, Henry Sosa has been called up from the Salem-Keizer Volcanos.

Sosa was one of the Giants two prospects chosen to play in the 2007 Futures Game. He features a

high-90s fastball and a hard curveball.

Winn Returns from DL, Sadler Sent to Fresno

SAN FRANCISCO - Outfielder Randy Winn was activated from the disabled list prior to this afternoon's

8-0 loss in Philadelphia, and was in the starting lineup for the first time since April 17 versus Arizona.

To make room for Winn, pitcher Billy Sadler was sent down to Class AAA Fresno. Sadler appeared twice

for the Giants since his promotion on May 1, allowing two runs on three hits in one inning of work. He
