Hit a buck 77 last year, .197 for his career.

What I do like about the signing is that Boras has probably told him to tune out whatever Darnell Coles tells him.  This is a re-establish value contract, and no other team values hitters who are taught to swing at everything as Coles teaches.
Worth about half a WAR. So, again, five million isnt an overpay. Acting like we're doing a favor for Boras is silly. Rizzo wanted a left handed hitting outfielder. Gallo's price is aligned to the last three offseasons budgets.

His defense alone justifies the contract.
