Joey Gallo is more valuable than DJ Peters.
That’s why Joey Gallo was traded for 4 prospects and Peters was picked up on waivers.
Gallo has hit more HRs and probably will continue to do so. Gallo has a far higher OBP and will probably continue to.
Gallo has a GG and a canon for an arm. DJ Peters will probably never win a gold glove or even be in the top 10 in assists.
Gallo is an .800-900 OPS guy.. Peters will struggle to be a .720+OPS guy.

How could anyone think DJ Peters is better than Gallo?

I don’t think he is better than Gallo. I do think he has shown possibilities and promise. And I think he deserves the time to see if those possibilities and promise pan out.

What I see is 12 Homers and 39 RBI’s in 50 games. Expanded out that could be 36+ Hrs and over 100Rbis in a full season

He’s definitely athletic and toolsy.
Just hard to believe in a guy that couldn’t hit above .245 in AA and doesn’t have a high OBP.
He had a .600s ops in the minors this year and is having a .600s ops now in the majors.
He’s fun to watch and definitely protectable, but the clock is ticking.

If he was hitting .250/.335/.440 I would be a little more inclined to believe in him.
Or if he had a year or 2 in the minors where he hit .290/.360/.500 I would be all about him.

He just hasn’t hit enough in the minors or majors yet for me to believe in him.

Just my opinion

I can argue with any of that but I feel better about his possibilities than I do about Calhoun and several others that some want to keep

Pirates win Pirates win

We would be right back in the race if the Indians can hold on. I never expected that.

Within 3 years we will probably have all forgotten about Peters.

I am sure your opinion is shared by a lot of folks. I know I share it.

Last games as Indians. To get to .500. I’m sure there’s a certain amount of pride left in them.

Lemme just jump into this bizarre Peters discussion. The question as I understand it was do I want 5 years of Gallo or Peters. I choose Peters because I'll get 75% of the performance for 5-10% of the cost.

But obviously all things considered Peters wouldn't crack my ideal roster.

 

[saddles]

New sheriffs in town, don't forget

Ah, but the old sheriff is in charge of the new one, so...
