Gallardo to start on Thursday

"It's a matter of how we're going to use him," said Sveum. "If we put him in the bullpen, we might not get to use him.

it’s like he has a new toy….

I’m sure he could use him quite effectively out of the pen, as the rest of the rotation won’t exactly be pitching 9 innings on short rest.

Plus, that way YG could pitch short stints a couple days in a row and wouldn’t have to bat.

I actually think YG would be a good closer if Torres ceases to be “the man we all know and love”

If the concern is his arm, it's as easy to limit pitches/innings with him starting as it is out of the pen.

If it’s the hitting, he can pitch him for 2 innings and bench him before he bats (assuming we don’t bat around early). He’ll have to field his position under either scenario, which to me should be the primary chance for an injury.

I have an unreasonable dislike of Bill Hall.

teh awesome

He can just use Sheets’s hitting theory of just hoping they throw four balls, and the Estrada theory of not bothering to run if he does happen to swing when he hits.

Sat: George 2 (37, missed catch, fielding) Fri: George (35, throw) Tues: George (34, throw)
