Athletic Gallo likely to play left field in 2019
DALLAS -- Joey Gallo still does not have a set position, but at least the Rangers are narrowing down the possibilities.
The Rangers are planning to use Gallo exclusively in the outfield this season after bouncing him between there, third and first base over the past four years. The Rangers haven't identified which outfield position, but manager Chris Woodward said it will most likely be left field, with Nomar Mazara in right.
The Rangers haven't ruled out the possibility of Gallo playing center, although Delino DeShields appears to be the likely candidate for that spot.
"It's something we'll talk about as a staff…but right now, Joey in left makes the most sense," Woodward said.
