It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall of Mike Hazen’s office this month, and gauge the interest in starting pitchers Merrill Kelly and Zac Gallen, Both are sure to be in demand, but I’d be fascinated to learn who other teams are inquiring about first. There’s no doubt that Kelly has been the better pitcher this year. His ERA is more than two runs lower than Gallen’s (3.34 vs. 5.40) and the gap by FIP is significant as well (3.47 vs. 4.80). But Gallen still potentially has the higher ceiling: when he’s right, he can rip off starts for a month or longer, where he is almost untouchable.
