Joey Gallo is 6-foot-5, and within his 255 pounds are layers of muscle that help contribute to his jaw-dropping power and home runs that frequently land 450 feet away.
Now, take that image, one stereotypical of a middle-of-the-lineup hitter, and drop it into the No. 2 hole of the Texas Rangers batting order.
Jeff Banister has done so, and the Rangers manager said on Saturday that Gallo batting second is a very real possibility, maybe even a probability, once the March 29 season opener arrives.
The Rangers were going to give it a look in the first game of a doubleheader against the Kansas City Royals.
