For about 6 months on how, maybe, soft tossers are the new undervalued commodity that Jack Zduriencik has figured out.  Guys that never threw hard or lost it early (ala Blake Beavan) had to figure out other ways to get guys out; by developing pinpoint command, extra pitches, good deception, a brilliant pick-off move.
You read all the time about guys that get to the majors with a mid 90's fastball and a couple of lousy secondary offerings that they never worked on because they never had to.  They don't learn to pitch until their 3rd or 4th season because they used to be able to blow it by everybody, but now they regularly face Miguel Cabrera, Justin Smoak, and Josh Hamiltons.
Guys like Jason Vargas, Doug Fister, and Mark Buerhle never could just throw it buy guys, so they figured out how to pitch at 17 instead of 23 or 25 or 30, so by the time they are 23 or 25 or 30, they've just about mastered how to throw a baseball into a dixie cup from 40 paces, with a curveball.
So now we have these guys littered throughout our system:  Beavan, Roe, Seddon, French, I don't think Erasmo Ramirez, Andrew Carraway or Brian Moran throw very fast. 
Also notice that Beavan is 6'7", Roe is 6'5", French is 6'4", so he likes them tall too, the "extra 6" syndrome" of making an 88 fastball look a bit more like 92.
