	Baseball America - Brazelton Finds Success By Returning To Old Ways
		Brazelton is back to his hands-over-the-head, high-leg-kick pitching style, and after developing a slider to accompany his low-90s fastball and plus changeup was virtually untouchable most of the AFL, a two-time pitcher of the week.
		Brazelton said the development of the slider was a season-long process involving Devil Rays minor league pitching coaches Marty DeMerritt and Dick Bosman during the regular season and Kranitz in Arizona.
		Brazelton had a five-inning 75-pitch limit in the season, and was so economical that he twice was removed after five innings despite throwing only 65 pitches.

		The now 22-year-old Brazelton said he was miserable in his initial experience with the Devil Rays, partly because none of the players would speak to him after reading about his contract negotiations in the local papers.
		Brazelton and the Tampa Bay organization were locked into tight negotiations that he says were blown out of proportion by the local media.
		Brazelton was tagged for seven runs -- six earned -- and six hits in just four innings of work in his first outing of the season.

	Baseball America Online - Devil Rays Sign Brazelton
		Brazelton, a righthander out of Middle Tennessee State drafted third overall in June, agreed to a $4.8 million major league contract Saturday, according to Marc Topkin of the St. Petersburg Times.
		Brazelton hasn't pitched in a game since a 2-1 loss to Tennessee in an NCAA regional matchup on May 25, so it's unlikely he'll step on a mound during a game.
		Topkin reports Brazelton will receive a $4.2 million bonus spread over the term of the contract, with salaries of $50,000 this year (a prorated share of $305,000), $200,000 in 2002 and $350,000 in 2003, with his 2004 salary to be negotiated.

		Brazelton's right leg began cramping in the sixth inning, and there was a question about whether he would have gone back out for the ninth, even if he had retired Lowell.
		Brazelton walked six, struck out five and hit a batter on his way to his second big league win, which came exactly a year after the Devil Rays — frustrated by his 1-6 record and 6.89 ERA —; demoted him to Class-A Bakersfield, where he spent the last two months of the 2003 season.
