Great. Another .220 HR hitter.

Great. Another .220 HR hitter.

That's the game in 2021. Oh, and he's walks a lot and is a great defender. Not a free agent until 2023, too. Great acquisition.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Florial not in the trade is great news.

Great? Might be a little much. He has never hit better than .225 in his life.

Great for this team right now. Balances the lineup and addresses outfield offensive production deficiencies.

If we keep working at it we’ll have low average power hitters 1-9. It’s not winning baseball.

If they walk frequently (like Gallo, Sanchez, Judge and Stanton do), I don't care if their averages aren't high.

[donniesyracuse]

Well, it can't hurt. But, and this is the sky is blue, they really need a CF that can hit from the left side and run. That isn't Gallo. But like I say, it can't hurt them.

According to the metrics, Gallo is an excellent right fielder and has been above average as a center fielder.

Agree. OBP, and OPS are important metrics. Gallo is top 6 in AL in OBP and top 10 in OPS.

It's a lineup that desperately needs a left handed impact bat.

He's a plus defender in the outfield.

Given the way teams play shifts, it's going to be harder for certain hitters to get the batting average up.

The only thing I don't like is his high strikeout rate. Yankees have a lot of those, and it's biting them in the runner on 3rd less than 2 outs situations.

But again, beggars can't always be choosers. I know the prospects they gave up were having good years, but they were nowhere near the Top 100, and may not have been in the Yankees next iteration of the Top 10. Plus this deal doesn't end up subsidizing the other teams.

Although, there is a good chance he will draw a walk in that situation.

How much did you give up to get him? That might be a telling sign.

Is your point that they gave up a lot or that they didn't give up much at all so therefore he is not that valuable?
