Gallo or Reed?

[Whitey]

First reserve pick in 12-team, AL-only keeper league.
Salary is $15. Thinking both this year and beyond.
Joey Gallo or A.J. Reed?

AJ Reed going away for me. Gallo still has massive contact issues, and I don't see a position for him in Texas for a while.

Reed for me too but it's close ... if you don't expect Gallo to hit above .250 when he arrives, there's no doubt he'll provide solid power numbers.

Yes, that's my concern. Thanks for the replies, gents.

Reed for me as well. Gallo may have a tough time getting a job in Texas. I can see Beltre signing an extension, in the OF, Choo is signed for 4 more years (as is Prince at DH), Desmond is a 1-year guy, but with Mazara and Brinson in the wings unless he gets a short-term opening and runs with it I just don't see it happening without an injury or trade.

You're welcome. My other issue with Gallo is he has no home this year - the OF is already overloaded even if Hamilton is injured for long periods of time. And next year, he only has a home if they decide he can play 3B and don't re-sign Beltre. With Mazara and Brinson hot on his heels, I just don't see him staying in the OF.
