Gallo’s strikeouts failed to advance runners and killed rallies. Yes, the moonshots were mesmerizing to be sure. But you can see how expectations in NY are getting to him. He never had that kind of pressure here. I wish him well, but don’t miss him. Fingers crossed on DJ. Seems more level headed.

You nailed it. The pressure is absolutely affecting Gallo's performance. I was concerned about that happening. Good guy but he needs to be in the right spot.

It's an inevitable comp, but we need to see a bit more. Joey's walks equal OBP. I like what I see from Peters, though. He's big, fast, plays good D and has a plus arm. If he can get a few walks and/or improve contact, he be a huge find. I'm certainly interested in seeing where it goes with him.

Gallo, even when he's slumping, can draw walks and score runs. If Peters can walk more (I think he has three with the Rangers), he could become a regular on a winning team.

Agreed. He's definitely intriguing.
