John Gall

[FAR52]

Anyone notice what a great Spring this guy is having? He just continues to hit the ball everywhere he goes.

Does anyone think he could be our everyday left fielder? Or is more likely trade bait -- in an effort to get us a LF or 2nd baseman?

On a side note, So's numbers look pretty good as well. He might actually get a bench spot this year.

Thanks

It has to be asked:


Who is John Gall?

[cardinalgirl]

I think I heard that Gall's glove really sucks.

I thought his bat looked good when I was there though.

Couldn't he just buy a better glove from Sports Authority?


It's simply stuff like that that Jocketty/LaRussa don't think of that could really help this franchise.

Is everything not fine? :(

They could always play Gall at first and move Pujols back to left.
