The Hardball Times:What? a screwball?

    Mike, his cutter really confuses me. It breaks the opposite direction of his slider. Normally, a cutter is typically defined as a "fast slider" that doesn't break as much, but with the same spin as a slider. Herrera's cutter breaks the same direction as his two-seam fastball, but with less spin. Should we even be calling it a cut fastball then? It doesn't do much cutting....
