That requires knowing what else they plan to do with other players. If they trade Choo he could DH mostly. At some point they might want to move Guzman back to AAA since he has struggled at the plate after his first 11 games up here. That would allow Gallo to play 1B and put Calhoun at LF. Then again they may want Calhoun to stay down for several more weeks.

Calhoun has not come close to proving he can handle LF. Rather see him do that in AAA for an extended period of time.

I haven't heard any updates lately about his defense.

 

[DT LUNA]

Odor needs to go down and get straightened out. .174 to start the game and K's.

 

[DT LUNA]

Excellent defense Joey

 

[DT LUNA]

Way to move the runner over Guz

 

[DT LUNA]

Glad to see NY getting a good look at Hamels

 

[Kelleyman]

Yanks would probably want Cole over German come playoffs.

 

[Kelleyman]

Have to think Cole mentality is that he is auditioning for Yanks and rest of league tonight. Has an option year at stake as he gives up a homer

And Odor continues to make The Crawler happy. K's again.

I don’t think it makes me a bad fan. We’re not playing for anything anyway.

I just want him to go down to the minors to “ get fixed” not go down and never come back again. big difference.

At what point do we start to think this is the best Gallo has to offer?

Hasn't shown much if he has it to show. Hope he does.

Doesn't look like he will hit above .220.

 

[Kelleyman]

Yeah Gallo needs to improve esp with 2 strike count and men on bases. Still young hope he works on that. I hate to have a good hitter ahead of him because that guys sees less good pitches

 

[Kelleyman]

Guzman is such a good target at 1B. Let's hope he sticks there and Gallo is in LF. Better defensive fits

 

[DT LUNA]

Odor is

When was the last time we drafted and developed an Ace?

When was the last time we drafted and developed a position player who has a legitimate shot at being even considered for the HOF?

Not that those two things are required for a WS championship or that they guarantee it, but it has been awhile.

Pudge

*edit* I saw the post that we didn't draft him as opposed to signing him out of puerto Rico

The problem with Gallo is the shift and then sticking with the adjustments he was making at the beginning of the year in response to it, it's easier to just go back to his bad habits and forget about the effort it takes to adjust and make an effort up there and not just swing away

IKF continues to play well.

The thing with Guzman is that he doesn't look overmatched up there, but he's certainly learning how to hit ML pitching and that's a heck of a learning curve, I think if they just let him struggle through it both will be better off long term, but he's definitely giving good ABs most of the time despite his struggles
