There has been so much discussion about the Asterisks that I thought I would perhaps break in with a short interlude and introduce a new Dodger that was acquired in the trade for Kyle Garlick on Saturday. Both Garlick and Gilbert were victims of the numbers game. Garlick was backed up behind a bevy of outfielders with the Dodgers and Gilbert was stacked up against a number of left-handed bullpen options with the Phillies.
The 6’3”/ 195-lb Gilbert was born in Santa Cruz, California and attended San Lorenzo Valley High School in his home town of Fenton, California.
