	I doubt whether a split-fingered fastball will add much to
Terrell's effectiveness, as he throws a sinker.  Terrell is
already an effective pitcher; what would improve him is not the
acquisition of a new pitch with many of the attributes of the ones he
throws now, but rather somehow reducing the frequency of the days he
doesn't have control.  The sinker is set up by the slider; if he gets
the slider over, he doesn't need any more pitches, and if he doesn't,
the split-fingered fastball isn't going to help.
