Report: Blue Jays in contact with Gallardo

[reedjohnsonfan]

Gallardo is useful on the cheap. You guys are hilarious jumping to conclusions that he will be overpaid. Nobody thinks he's a really good pitcher, but he's a useful piece for the back end of your rotation. Say what you want about him but he can pitch, and do so adequately well in the majors. A lot of teams roster players who shouldn't even be pitching in the bigs and Shapiro is trying to avoid that, I'd be all over Gallardo if his price has rightfully so come way down.

[nonamejays]

With the quality of the Jays defense, they really should target as many GB pitchers as possible. More GB = more outs on batted balls.

[Slugger]

I mean...you could do worse. Giving up a pick would hurt though.

[DerangedIdoit]

Shapiro pretty much flat out said there's a question whether the Jays have enough resources to complete such a transaction. Meaning there's not enough cash in the piggy bank. That means no Gallardo, Chris Davis, Cespedes, Upton etc. So everyone should stop even entertaining such notions. Position player wise there's no way anything of significance happens. Our 'challenges' as Shapiro puts it is pitching and there is no reason to not take him for his word when he says finding pitching depth (presumably low cost) is the primary focus.

 

Look out for the Jays to explore contracts with the likes of Fister, Latos, Cliff Lee, Rodney, Stammen, Webb, Joe Nathan, Blanton etc. There also always the possibility of the trade route especially for a backup catcher.

That will seriously effect the Handsome quotient.

Too bad she's stupid as f***

 

Women only have 1 use really, and it is not talking.

 

EDIT: Just watched the video, she's not all that.

Thanks for making me puke a little in my mouth - at work. Great start to my Friday. FWIW - tight body, but I don't find her that good looking either.

She does have that "don't talk to me because I'm a huge rad feminist" look about her. Bitchiness is kind of a turn on for me, though.

 

Plus, when she opens her mouth, you can't help but find her less attractive. When it comes down to it, I'd definitely PIIHB, though, no question.

She teaches at college tho.

Hard to tell through text, dummy. You're a huge TYT fanboi so I can't take that s*** as a joke.

 

Watch that video though, it's hilarious.

I haven't watched a single video since Cenk's Sam Harris clusterf*** a couple months ago.

[flafson]

After we had the Jays are in talk with Rodney ae acquired Storen

 

If the trend holds true we are about to acquire a very good starting pitcher

 

You think we can convert Dickey into a very good pitcher? I doubt it.

Besides, I like the fact he gives us 200+ innings of ~4 ERA. Hard to replace it.

[Boxcar]

The one where he mocks Harris for complaining that he gets misrepresented, tells his audience he will make every effort to not misrepresent him, and then goes on to lazily misrepresent him?

I would like to have Gallardo on the team but only if we move Dickey.

 

If we can move Dickey for a decent prospect and bullpen arm then sign Gallardo I am all for it.

[Muck Bartinez]

Dickey is coming off a 3.6 RA9 WAR season, makes 12M, requires only a 1 year commitment, and has no draft pick tied to him.

 

Gallardo is coming off a 2.5 WAR season, just declined 15.8M, requires at least 2-3 years, and has a draft pick tied to him.

 

I don't see any scenario where Gallardo over Dickey makes any sense, unless you think that the Dickey return package would outweigh the draft pick and any value difference.

 

***Used different WARs since I think each represents their respective pitcher better.

Signing Gallardo would cost us a first round pick. I doubt selling on Dickey would get us first round talent. You're already at a loss.

Taking Gallardo only makes sense if you keep the same starters you have now.

this is how i see it also

 

Stro, Dick, Gallardo, Estrada, Happ

 

Chavez swingman

 

Hutch and Sanchez depth in Buffalo

[Jonzo]

I thought it would be a 7th round pick?

[glory]

Subbing Gallardo for Dickey and losing a pick in the process would be terrible. There's no way Dickey will be able to fetch the equivalent of a first round pick in a trade, and Gallardo over Dickey is an insignificant roster change. Makes no sense.

I looked up Gallardo's RA9-WAR for shits and giggles, 4.3. I was actually surprised and expected it much closer to his fWAR.

[FrozenRopes]

Unless your gut says that his aging body and arm are going to continue to dive and it's time to cut bait.

[TilsonBritoFan]

Soooo...Kennedy got 5 years $70 mill? Dafuq?

 

The Royals are f***ed on that one. Way to give up a pick for a replacement level pitcher dumbasses.

[AncientDiety]

This may be a move looking at 2017 and beyond. The FA market is thin in pitchers next year, and the Jays also have EE and JB to resign. They may want to solidify the rotation now for the next couple seasons so they have less to worry about in 2017.
