He has for most of his career. If he was killing it, he wouldn't be available. Hence the buy low.Ag_07 said:Farmer1906 said:

Does he though?
He only has 10 HRs and 21 RBIs and Yankee Stadium is shorter than MMP.
One of the last people I'd wanna see come into the box as a PH in an important spot is Joey Gallo.
Hard pass
And I'm sure you'll respond with some advanced expected stats about how good he is.

He would platoon and only face righties. Put him in LF until Brantley gets back. Split time with Yuli at first. Be a weapon as a PH.

ESPN announces it has picked up Astros-Red Sox on Aug. 1 from Minute Maid Park. 7 p.m. first pitch. The day before the trade deadline.

The Yankees would never trade with us when we're in contention.

I think he's secretly just a really big Gallo fan and would want to do exactly this if we got him, but he has to make it look like it's a lost bet to save face.

After reviewing current trends and remaining schedules I think it's pretty clear the Astros are going to have home field advantage thru the playoffs unless there is some barrage of critical injuries.

Would not want him up with 1 out and a man on 3rd, but he's still a GG-caliber OF, still hits RHP well and can still hit when not in NYC. When he's at his best he draws enough walks to get on base as much as the next guy and of course he mashes dingers.
He has put up most of his gawdy stats in low-pressure situations and he hits terrible in MMP, but I'd certainly rather see him in the lineup than:
- Siri (ever)
- Dubon in the OF (ever)
- Chas (vs RHP)
- I'd even put him in over Yuli vs. RHP if he can still play 1b.
Again, Yankees aren't letting him come here, but hell yes I'd trade Siri for him.
Gallo was 5th in the AL in BsR (the baserunning component of fWAR) last season. He's not a base stealing threat, but he's a great baserunner.Ragnar Danneskjoldd said:
I would rather have siri for a pinch runner than Gallo for his bat.

He's also a better PH vs RHP than most of our bench guys.
Doesn't matter because he's going to the Padres.

Ha! Probably not. But he will hit .200 and half our bench can't hit .200 without power.redline248 said:
He's not going to hit .230 off a tee
