Competent performance out the #5-6-7 starter slots, it always has a pretty low bar. I mean, the league has a 100 ERA+ in total; by definition the #3 starters are at 100.
And that could be exactly Dipoto's thinking, I dunno, that if he gets an 84 ERA out of Gallardo, but he does NOT get a panicky performance, then there's a worthwhile stoploss. ... hope he is NOT thinking that, but he may be.
