Get to know Yovani Gallardo

[Frobby]

Well, it's not a horrific outing, but there's nothing about it that leads me to think he's going to be much of an upgrade.

So after this rehab farce is over and he is declared fit to pitch...

how long until he is DFA'd?

23 million and a first round pick to a guy no one else in baseball was going to sign.

Explain how it is a farce?

Pretty much how I feel. Velocity is exactly where it was before. Command not very good, as evidenced by the ball/strike numbers. Not very encouraging no matter how you slice it.

I'll take that every day over Ubaldo. He made 3 bad pitches and the velo is up a bit from last time. Beggars can't be chosers.

It is? I thought his velocity was sitting at 87-88 before.

But that was against a AAA lineup.

Yep. Sooner or later DD will actually get some blame around here.

Yes, because the Gallardo signing was universally beloved on this board...

Do you have CoC on ignore?

He might, he requested that I put him on /ignore.

Blame for what? For having a winning franchise during his tenure? Or some micro tendency.

Still don't like the velocity. And allowed 3 runs and only being able to go 5 innings is a concern. That seems like more of the same Yovani.

And this:

85 pitches, 49 strikes...not a great ratio to AAA hitters.

[Going Underground]

I think the Orioles should give him one or two more starts in AAA. The Orioles are in first and what is the rush.? He was behind in Spring Training. He said so himself.

He is upright and breathing - so "good to go" per Buck.

Maybe Dan is getting grief about signing him to the contract?
