And yes, he does have a problem walking too many guys. I'm not saying you traded away Francisco Liriano, but Gaudin is a young pitcher with excellent stuff and would have provided starting depth for you guys. He is unquestionably better than your #5 starters.

Do you really not care what guys minor league stats look like? Gee, why didn't you get the Toronto GM job instead of Riccardi?
