		<description><![CDATA[Hey Jon - think of the Stuff metric as cube - with the height of the cube representing the amount of separation between pitches being the height of the cube, and the depth of the cube being the range between velocities. It doesn&#039;t necessarily matter what pitches the velocity changes occur between - just that in that pitchers arsenal, they&#039;re capable of changing speeds that much. If you look at Clayton Kershaw&#039;s stuff, it&#039;s very similar; a mid 90&#039;s fastball, with a mid 70&#039;s curve. It&#039;s a huge weapon for both of them.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Mike,

I really like this column a lot. I wish the rest of the world offered such in-depth analysis of what is a phenomenal pitching staff.
I have a question about the values in the starting pitching portion of the stuff chart: I notice that Aaron Sanchez&#039;s offspeed and breaking velocities are both 78.7 mph. Is his curve being used for both categories and his change-up not considered? The other starter&#039;s offspeed velos seem to be based on their change-ups (close to the velocities of their change-up velos per brooks baseball). I was wondering if this gives Aaron an advantage on the stuff metric, as considering his change-up would shrink his velocity differential from 17% to approximately 6%.

Thanks,

Jon]]></description>
