Anyone have information and/or an opinion on him?
Is this a good move?

I've never heard of him either, seems like one of those journyman minor leaguers you sort of glaze over.

Gotta like a 36/5 K/BB ratio, but of course he's very old for his league and doesn't have a good history so I'm not expecting much.
Same here. It's possible he just recently figured it out but he had a 5.40 ERA last season in the minors so I'm not holding out much hope for the guy.

In the 5th, I thought he looked okay there too, considering the circumstances. One of the hits which allowed a run was off a broken bat hit.
He wasn't flashy, but he still had some pretty decent stuff and control out there tonight.

He's missed a few years of play due to injury and other non-baseball related problems. Seems like a good find so far. Ferriera was a big pickup for the Orioles this off-season.

Hopefully at least 2 of those guys will pitch decently for the next couple months.

I'm pretty optimistic about Gonzalez going forward. My money is on him to be the best among the group of him, Arrieta, Britton, Matusz, and Tillman over the rest of the season.
Hopefully at least 2 of those guys will pitch decently for the next couple months.
Wow. Why exactly?

I've really liked what I've seen from Gonzalez, and his numbers in the minors were fantastic. I also read someone's article about the scout that found him in Mexico and the way he was pitching there, which was completely different than how he had been pitching for years and looks like it has carried over. It's kind of more of just a gut feeling than anything I can specifically point to statistically.Wow. Why exactly?
Arrieta and Matusz appear lost. I'm not completely giving up hope on them, but I don't expect either to be back in Baltimore quickly. Mid-August at the earliest.
While I'm excited to see if Tillman can finally produce for us, I'm not letting one start significantly impact my judgement. He was pretty much the same guy we've seen in the minors this year.
Britton is a guy with a lot of talent and I love groundball pitchers, but shoulder injuries scare the crap out of me.
I don't really think he's a better option than all, if any, of those guys for the long term future. But I think he's going to give us more production over the next three months than the young guys will. We'll just have to see how everything works out. Hopefully at least 2-3 guys can step up and we can make a legit run at this thing.

He really showed me something last night. He did not appear to have anything in the first inning but fought his way through and really did a nice job getting deep into the game. He looks like a professional pitcher, meaning one who knows his craft.
Rodrigo Lopez the sequel.

Yea, I mentioned that in a game thread awhile ago. Lopez had some value. I will take that from a scrap heap acquisition.Rodrigo Lopez the sequel.

All in all, this is another player the Orioles have been able to find that has done a nice job of contributing to the team.
