There was a point where the Freddy Galvis signing appeared destined to go down as a swing and a miss from the Orioles’ offseason.
If you had to pinpoint the moment, it might have been the gap between two halves of a doubleheader played April 15 against the Seattle Mariners. In the first game, Galvis went 0-for-2, and saw his average fall to .154. One of the pluses to bringing Galvis on board was his power, and he was slugging .179. Of his 12 games, three had seen him strike out three times.
It wasn’t working.
