    Bordes pitched better as a reliever and figures to go much higher than he did in 2005, when the Tigers popped him in the 24th round. He has lowered his arm slot since arriving at ASU and gained good sinking movement on his fastball, which at times sits at 91 mph. He has improved his ability to throw quality strikes with the pitch and is durable. If Bordes had a consistent breaking pitch, he'd move quickly into a lefty relief role. His breaking ball has tightened up since last year, but it remains a below-average slurve, and Bordes attacks righthanded hitters better than he does lefthanded hitters.
