re: Joey Gallo, first impressions?

It's all about expectations really. If someone is viewing him as a superstar, well, they're likely to be disappointed. If one's expectations are realistic and take him for what he is, he'll be viewed as a good, successful major league baseball player.

When we're talking about cornerstone franchise players, the Carlos Correa and Kris Bryant immediately pops up to mind. Gallo doesn't fit in that category... and that's coming from a Joey Gallo fanboy.
