We’ve been laying off Joey Gallo recently because, really, what’s the point?
It’s embarrassing the Yankees keep running him and his .164 batting average out there with any regularity. But there was a lot of truth in Don La Greca’s recent rant on ESPN Radio New York.
Gallo has not cost this team anything so far. And it seems inconceivable he will even be put in a position to do so. As long as you have faith the Yankees aren’t deluded enough to carry him on the postseason roster, it’s fine to treat Gallo’s presence like a mild-yet-persistent headache.
