AL Notes: Gallardo, Ausmus, Hill

By Steve Adams | May 9, 2016 at 11:19pm CDT

Orioles righty Yovani Gallardo will have a “light catch” over the weekend, Eduardo Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports on Twitter. Gallardo hit the DL on April 23rd but is only now apparently set to test out his bothersome shoulder. Even if he’s able to begin progressing back toward the mound, his timetable remains uncertain. And beyond that, Gallardo still will face questions about his ability to remain effective while exhibiting a rather significant velocity decline that apparently preceded his injury.

Here are a few more notes from the American League:

  • Tigers manager Brad Ausmus acknowledges that he is “in the crosshairs” with his team struggling, writes MLive.com’s Aaron McMann. “I knew when I took this job, I was probably going to get fired before I walked away from it,” said Ausmus. “Not this job in particular, but just managing in general. How many managers walk away from a job?” The Tigers are off to a fairly disappointing 14-16 start and suffered through a disastrous bullpen meltdown on Sunday, when Mark Lowe and Justin Wilson combined to serve up seven runs in the eighth inning. Ausmus said he hasn’t heard anything either way from owner Mike Ilitch or GM Al Avila in terms of his job security.
  • Rich Hill has been one of the best stories in the league this season with the A’s, but the Red Sox made an effort to keep around following his September renaissance last season, according to WEEI.com’s John Tomase. Boston offered Hill a one-year, Major League deal on the heels of his four brilliant starts down the stretch, but the money didn’t match up to Oakland’s $6MM, per Tomase’s sources. President of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski wouldn’t get into any specific details, unsurprisingly, but he did acknowledge that his team made Hill what it felt to be a competitive offer. “We gave him what we felt was a solid offer,” said Dombrowski. “They did better. It’s always easier in hindsight. It’s a situation where we did like him enough to offer him a nice deal, we thought. Oakland really stepped up, and you tip your cap.”

    I gave Hill 10 starts before blowing out his elbow yet again with him throwing that curve so often now in order to be effective. Even if he can last 10 (he has 7 now) at 6m, doing as well as he did those 4 last year and this season’s 7? 6m is a bargain.

      The thing about hill is that hill is throwing his curve correctly, he’s not “snapping” which is causing less stress on his elbow.

    That’s weird, because when he signed, the beat writers out of Oakland said that Hill signed with them because he was guaranteed rotation spot no matter what, and other teams offered more money but could not give him that same guarantee. Does not match up with Boston saying they got outbid.

      It is possible they were still outbid, I’m willing to bet more teams than just the A’s and Red Sox were negotiating with him.
