As much as I am concerned about Yovani Gallardo, getting him for 3 yrs at less AAV than J.A. Happ is one of the best deals on this entire list. Not to mention, a fourth year option! If Gallardo, IF Gallardo puts up career average years moving forward it's a great deal.

Here's the list of starting pitchers with minor league deals:

Ross Detwiler (Cleveland)

Yohan Flande (Colorado)

Dillon Gee (Kansas City)

Jeremy Guthrie (Texas)

Roberto Hernandez (Toronto)

Kyle Kendrick (Atlanta)

Brandon Morrow (San Diego)

Sean O'Sullivan (Boston)

Cesar Ramos (Texas)

Tim Stauffer (Arizona)

Yasiel Sierra (Los Angeles NL)

Ryan Vogelsong (Pittsburgh)

Some of these guys will likely be relievers in 2016.

Early results. If the Orioles want a #2/3 starter they're looking at about $15 mil according to current projections on Spotrac.

Happ is a 4/5.

    • Where is Max Wagner by the way? Is he hurt? 
    • Speaking of Wagner, where is he?   Apparently out with an injury of some kind...?    Aberdeen is also known as a tough place on hitters for some reason.  I wonder if it's sight lines or wind or something.   Many bats go there to die.....
    • Jack Leiter looks good but I can't help but notice how often he's a) blowing on his hand, then b) either licking his fingers or going to the back of his head to wipe stuff off his hair.  I suppose this is legal enough, but he's got excellent control (3 BB to 25 K in AAA this season) and one could only hope our guys have figured out a way to get good grip on the ball like this, to give them better control (or at least increase their spin rates) as well. `\_(")_/`
    • Have the same poll up on twitter. So far, with 79 votes, it’s 51% under , 49% over. So, OH i more pessimistic so far. Surprising result to me.
    • Sticking with my 2.2 to 2.3mm. Most people in the flex are going to the cheapest plan and be about  10 to 15 games depending on seat location. So the 9,000 is about 1/8th of that number for the season. Just like Biirdland memberships might have increased by 6,000 or so from last year but 96 %  or so are 13 game plans.Still you have added say about 3,000 extra tickets per game. They will definitely have a nice increase but 2.2? 2.3? A little higher,we shall see. Hard to figure out if the flex and season holders would have come to 7 or 8 games anyhow. Have to average about 32,233 for the rest of the home games to get to around 2.5mm Possibly but most likely not.
    • To be clear, I don't think he's going to get sent down.  But the reality is he will need to pick up the pace relatively significantly to even get to the Cal bar.  He's on pace for 5 or 6-for-104 right now, with a million K's in there.  Again, not saying that will continue, I highly doubt it does.  I'm just curious HOW bad it would have to get before they'd send him down. I also don't think he's necessarily shown that he's mastered AAA pitching, as someone else posited. He's hit well there but it wasn't a lot of games, and half the ones from this year were against a team that seems it shouldn't even be in AAA its so bad.  I'd be curious how far his stats would have dropped in AAA if he'd stayed, the way the rest of the guys have evened off. All of which is to say, he's here, and I am pretty confident he's staying almost regardless, but I am curious where the line for breaching that 'almost' is.
    • Everyone should heed this rule, unless we're talking about Jackson Holliday.  And then it's out the window.
