If they’re serious about Gallardo, they should sign a better free agent with a QO attached to him first. He would be a decent pickup for them but he’s not worth giving up the 15th pick for especially since he can’t pitch deep into games.
Voice of Reason
If I was a general manager, gallardo would be on my avoid list.

That’s why you aren’t one.

oooohhhhh

The declining strikeout rate is a concern. Not worth giving up a draft pick to pay this guy.
FOmeOLS
Dan Duquette is an idiot.

He would fit in very nicely with the O’s, with his extreme ground ball tendencies and the Orioles’ excellent infield defense. I’d prefer Leake, but that guy will be getting 5/85 or better, and the O’s just won’t go that high on a pitcher.

Don’t like it. Better than not pursuing anyone, but I think there are better choices out there to look at that would be comparable in cost.

He would be a hit and miss for Baltimore especially when it comes to their luck with signing FA pitching, he was great last year and anything could happen with him next season so if anything I would focus on bringing back Chen because he’s preformed well in Baltimore and he’s familiar with the atmosphere there worse comes to worse I don’t think it would be a bad idea for them to go after kazmir or Kennedy
Voice of Reason
He wasn’t great last year.
If he was, he would be signing for more than $13
Million a year!

Health wise and he was a big reason the Rangers made the post season at all without him Rangers were nothing seeing as how Darvish holland and Perez were hurt and they never would’ve gotten hamels because they wouldn’t have been in a buying mode because they would’ve been dead last In the west, he wasn’t an ace but he’s a solid number two

Not to be a contrarian (Then again, why not?) but I think the Rangers more won the West last season because of having a healthy Fielder & Choo. Both playing like all Rangers management & fans expected them to perform like when they were first signed. For having a new voice in Manager, J. Bannister & lastly, because of stellar play of the bullpen. Particularily after Daniels traded for both Dyson & Diekman late in July. Not to mention him (Daniels) trading for Hamels in July, as well. Who last time I asked around, was told that he is a pretty damn good pitcher in his own right, as well. ; )

As a Rangers fan I can say he was absolutely not great last season. Unless you think pitching under 6 innings every outing is great. The Rangers just used him in the way that maximized his abilities
Gardner_012
He still logged 184 innings and his home runs given up were down which is pretty good considering he was playing in a hitters ball park, was he an ace? No absolutely not but he’s a damn good option for a number two starter

Stay away from Gallardo, we need that 15th pick to add another player to our thin farm system. We’ll get another pick from Chen signing away and maybe Davis too, but I would try to sign Davis as he is key to being a contender in the east.

As someone who watched Gallardo pitch several times in person last season I can definitely understand concern when you look at the fact that he didn’t go deep into many games and tended to have a really high pitch count after a couple of innings in several games. He’s obviously not a power pitcher anymore and isn’t going to get you a lot of strikeouts. Fortunately in baseball there are other ways to get batter’s out and that’s what he did. At one point he had a consecutive inning scoreless streak of over 30 and because the Rangers have a solid core of relievers they didn’t need hm to go super deep in many of those games. Another thing to look at is they gave him horrible run support. I don’t know the numbers but I’d be willing to bet he had the worst run support out of all Ranger starters and easily could have matched Colby Lewis for most wins on the staff with just a few more runs. There were several of his starts where he’d leave in the 6th inning after only giving up a run or two and the Rangers hadn’t scored any. He could be a solid 4-5 guy on most teams.

Galladro was a good one year rental for Texas and had a great run in mid-June where he went four games without giving up an earned run in helping the Rangers turn things around. But he is what he is….a five-six inning pitcher.
FOmeOLS
No!
No player who’ll cost a draft pick!
No player who’ll projects to a 4+ ERA.
If you want mediocrity, troll around the Non-Tender list.
bird knows
Angeles is largely responsible for the O’s years of woes. He spends big bucks on MASN and fights to keep the Nationals share to a minimum. The O’s need to resign Davis
and/or Chen, preferably Davis. They cannot afford to give up another draft pick as they need to build their farm system back up. With adequate money on the table a trade or purchase of a good starting pitcher might be possible. Identify a pitcher they would like to have then be aggressive. Money can speak loudly.

Gallardo is a good fit for the Oriols but it will be hard to get him from the Rangers
