Well, he's #1 in something.

Either Gallen needs to go to AAA or he needs to go to the bullpen.

Either Gallen needs to go to AAA or he needs to go to the bullpen.

He has over 5 years of MLB service, so he would have to consent to being sent down. He won't. I would put him in the bullpen.

Man... I don't know what's worse. Gallen's pitching or Bickley's hair.

Good lord.

He gone

 

[AZ Native]

Where? No one wanted him last year. We have to pay him regardless. Maybe the pen?

Bullpen for mop up duty only. When you are a starter in MLB with a 6+ ERA, you are not a MLB starter - except of course on Torey's Dbacks - where loyalty to cagey veterans trumps winning games.

Gallen threw 5 scoreless innings after a rough 1st. Only 3 hits allowed since the opening frame, all singles.

His ERA decreased from 6.36 to 6.34.

At least two on the list are current or former Dbacks. Yay!

Best we can hope for is he builds on his post 1st inning performance from last night. Unfortunately even after the first he still seemed a little wobbly to me.

His next three starts before the deadline should be the Dodgers, Athletics and Pirates.
