H/W: 6-3 195 lb. B/T: R/R DOB: 3/1/88
Cahill had an immensely successful 2008 season pitching at both High-A Stockton and AA Midland earning an 11-5 record with a 2.61 ERA and 136 K's in 124.2 IP. Cahill limited hitters to a lowly .179 BA and his 2.43 GO/FO ratio was one of the best in the minor leagues. Cahill is not a flame thrower, though his fastball, sitting at 90-92 MPH, has excellent sink and late movement. He throws a hard breaking curve ball that has the makings of a strikeout pitch at the major league level. Cahill walked 50 hitters in 124.2 IP which is not terrible, but shows that he still needs to work on throwing strikes with his offspeed pitches. He has a tendency to bury his pitches in the dirt instead of offering them in the strike zone which, of course, is much better than leaving them up in the zone. There's not much to dislike about Cahill's abilities. At the ripe age of 21, he is Oakland's brightest pitching prospect in a fully stocked system.
2009 Projection: Since Cahill did not play fall or winter baseball, he will likely get a long look by the A's in spring training before heading to AAA Sacramento to start the season. The A's have many good arms in their rotation, though there are no truly elite pitchers in their rotation. Cahill has the makings of a very good #2 starter and he should be first in line for a rotation spot should one of Oakland's starters land on the DL. Cahill has just one major autograph, 2007 Bowman Chrome, out right now which should see a noticable bump in value when he makes his major league debut.
