The Price Letdown, Costing The Rays A 40.50 ERA
mvn.com 7/5/2009 — If this article had to suggest anything, it could have been over confidence that plagued David Price today.

Price Needs To Get On Top Of His Slider
mvn.com 6/23/2009 — The left-handed power pitcher can easily pump up the fastball in the mid-90s and even in the upper-90s. His breaking pitchers needs to be good, that is why I noticed David Price not getting on top of his slider in his last start in Colorado. Price's slider is a plus-plus pitch, but it has lost a ...
Price Less Velocity Equals More Command
mvn.com 7/9/2009 — A real step up outing by David Price, focusing more on his fastball command and getting it in the strike zone more.
