2008-04-05 Oakland A's Practice 6

Chad Edward Gaudin(born March 24, 1983 in New Orleans, Louisiana) is a right-handed pitcher for the Chicago Cubs.

On July 8, 2008, Gaudin was dealt along with Rich Harden to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for Sean Gallagher, Matt Murton, Eric Patterson, and minor league catcher Josh Donaldson.

Listed at 5'10", Gaudin is smaller than the prototypical starting pitcher. However, he compensates with excellent "stuff." Gaudin's arsenal consists of a low-90's 4-seam fastball and a heavy-sinking 2-seam fastball that sits in the high-80s-to-low-90s. He complements these pitches with a hard-breaking slider and a changeup. Gaudin struggles with his control at times, but has shown that he can be a reliable middle-of-the-rotation pitcher or an excellent option coming out of the bullpen.
