With Hamilton and De Shields Jr set to return I assume he gets sent back down.
during his time with Texas he has hit .224/.306/.461 with 5 home runs and a 42% strikeout rate.
Do you feel future All-Star/Top 3 third baseman? (Tonight he is playing center for first time ever)

He'll hit 40 HRs and strike out 240 times. He would need a BABIP over .400 to hit .250 while striking out 40% of the time.

Gonna be hard with that strikeout rate. I believe Chris Carter had like a 24% k rate in the minors. He's at 34% in the majors. Gallo was around a 36% k rate in the minors.
Right now it looks like ML coaches and pitchers figured him out. .300 4HR in his first 11 games, .139 1HR 51% K rate in his last 11. He's got some adjustments to make.

42% k rate? Maybe Chris Carter isn't so bad after all.

He'll have a lot of 2011 Mark Reynolds type years.

Gallo. First impressions?

Confident he'll be a pretty good ball player. He typically does well his second time around at every stop he makes. He works with Jason Giambi, Troy Tulowitzki, among others during the off season. The kid is going to strike out a lot... that's pretty much a given. At the same time, he'll be a pretty good player because he wants and works hard for it. I mean even if he has a Russell Branyan type career, it that really a bad thing? He played 14 years in the majors. He'll be better than that though.

Adam Dunn with less pop, and more mobility

Yeah, the kid strikes out a lot, but you do have to realize he is still only 21 years old. Most ballplayers that age are still in college or somewhere in the minors.
I mean he will still strike out a lot but I can see that number going down the longer he plays and the more he learns about his swing

If he's lucky, he'll end up having a similar career to Ryan Howard. But the more likely scenario is he'll be Mark Reynolds 2.0.
Posted on 6/27/15 at 3:10 pm to tduecen
he'll be fine as long as he stays out of umberto's

He's overmatched in many at-bats, but he's also been facing some incredible pitchers this month.

He's going to strike out alot
