Bannister earning serious consideration - Official MLB Website
Brian Bannister can bring it when he has to. His fastball has touched the mid-90s, but he prefers to sacrifice velocity for greater precision, the mark of a wise man rather than that of a caveman. He'd rather deceive batters regularly than overwhelm them occasionally. In his effort to win a position in the Mets' starting rotation, he relies on smarts, a 12-to-6 curveball and late movement.

Those commodities have served Bannister well in this, his first big-league camp...
