THE LATEST SCOTT BORAS SALES PITCH IS A RIOT!

"I do know that there are a lot of teams that feel that Joey in their market and their uniform would be more of the normal than what he is in New York. But right now, he’s on a winning team, he’s on a team that’s doing very well, he can be a major contributor to it …" Scott Boras

OH PLEASE, Boras! Please don't tease us anymore. Please from your mouth to the baseball god's ears PLEASE let ANY other team take Joey Gallo off of our hands. That would be the greatest gift so far this season. You can read more HERE and laugh. 

He COULD be a major contributor but he hasn't been. He's been dead weight! You gotta hand it to Boras though, he always makes things interesting. He usually makes me laugh my ass off and this time he certainly didn't disappoint. It's his job to sell his clients, so it's no surprise that he is working overtime trying to spin this. I guarantee the guy would try to sell snow to an Eskimo so believe me when I say I am not shocked by his statements....I just think he is delusional.

"He had a nice home run the other day. Defensively, he’s been playing at very, very high levels. And he gets on base a lot because he’s walking at rates now that he was before. We certainly have things to work on."

More ice selling again. Great, he had a nice home run the other day which brings his grand total to 11. Really impressive (sarcasm). But, what has he done for us lately, Boras? Or....consistently for that matter? How has he been a positive contributor? Everyone has nice moments in this game, but rare moments aren't enough when you play for the Yankees. 

So please, Boras show us the teams that are lining up for the guy who is a very good defender but has a .164 BA and 98 strikeouts making him a SURE out. Oh and a rather expensive sure out at that. If another team wants take a gamble, the Yankees are all ears. Maybe another non-contending team can overlook all of the strikeouts and be okay with the occasional big hit.

But we can't afford that come September. He's an insult to Mario Mendoza, the guy that inspired the baseball cliché of "batting below the Mendoza line." He's reinvented it, we should call it the GALLO line from now on. Time to give poor Mario a break.

At any rate, please Boras....find a willing team and we will send Gallo packing. Hell, we might even throw in a new bucket of baseballs and some Big League Chew to sweeten the deal!
