Dahk 210 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Who's spot would he take? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
svdude 341 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Threw 147 innings in 2017 and 133 last year, so is it a safe bet they would be comfortable with him going up to 170-180 range this year? If so, comes out to maybe 10-12 starts if he is an early June callup? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is part of the equation too...but with a lot of younger/inexperienced guys they also could opt for a 6 man rotation when the dog days set in? About his only hope outside of an early trade.

brockpapersizer 12,283 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I guess we're an Alcantara blow up or two away. They dont really have an open spot in the rotation I feel like we will see Gallen next month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Since no one can accurately state when Super 2 is, it's impossible to say. It's also quite possible they decide to wait until mid-April of 2020 to gain another year of team control. However, I do think it's more likely he's up in 2019 than not since Gallen isn't as heralded a prospect as a Sixto Sanchez or a Monte Harrison. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tucker26 2,402 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 The hype should catch up as Zac continues his domination. Any reason not? He’s wrecking the PCL. Not much else he can do except keeping it up Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The stuff has never been elite - but he's able to keep hitters off-balance with varying speeds and clean mechanics. Going to be tough to get through an MLB lineup 3 times per start without having at least one plus to plus-plus pitch. It does seem that his command has taken a step forward though this year for sure. He could be a solid floor play, particularly at home, but I wouldn't look for him to continue putting up the AAA numbers he currently is at the MLB level long term. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, in all fairness to Gallen, nobody puts up the numbers in the majors that he is putting up in AAA.... 😉 Not exactly disagreeing with you otherwise though, although he's obviously a must grab when he finally does get the call. Just have to give up any hope of him getting many wins, but that shouldn't be a huge deal since he'd likely/hopefully be a backend of the rotation guy for all of us.

tekashi26ix 101 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Urena pitching like the perfect trade candidate and is under control through 2021. Hopefully he's gone sooner rather than later for a nice prospect and gallen gets the call. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What Dark One said since there is absolutely no exact science as to when Super 2 happens for each individual player. It is a complicated math formula that includes in it future stats that haven't happened as of yet. So most teams wait until at least mid-June when past stats show most players in the past were then safe to call up. But to be ultra sure, near the end of June. Especially on teams not competing and having low payrolls as well like Miami. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cmilne23 10,559 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Urena continues to boost stock. Him being traded is probably clearest path to rotation for Gallen. Edited June 3, 2019 by Cmilne23 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BigPapi44 1,050 Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) 7IP, 4hits, 1ER, 2BBs, 11Ks. We will see if he comes back out for the 8th. Edited June 5, 2019 by BigPapi44 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dark One 499 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Sandy not cooperating - very solid outing in a tough hitters park (Milwaukee) tonight - 7 IP, 5 Hits, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K's. I'm liking the Urena trade idea more and more to get Gallen in the rotation somewhere between now and the end of next month. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is unless somebody gets hurt in the meantime. Sandy has been just good enough to stick on an awful team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FearTheBeard 1,494 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Another option would be if they elect to go with a 6 man rotation. In the Marlins case I could see benefit to this. They’re not competing for anything and have 3 SPs in which they will look to manage inning on - Smith, Lopez, and Alcantara. It will also allow them to see what they have in Gallen and have him to begin to get experience at the MLB level. He has nothing left to prove or work on in AAA New Orleans.

To gain another year of control, no incentive to care about winning, etc. I don't disagree that he should have already been called up, but the unfortunate reality of it all is that this had to be expected, especially with a prospect for the Marlins.
