It looks like they’re gonna roll with Galvis at either 2B or SS. I have mixed opinions on this. It depends on how it fits in with the big picture. It’s not a super exciting move though. I think he’s worth the 5.5 Mil but it’s not gonna be a huge improvement.

Galvis is a streaky player. He does well then tanks then does well then tanks, etc. I guess the Reds think his good days are worth it. Not sure this gets us to the playoffs though. Still need another good bat and pitcher.
Who Dey!

I've always thought they're not gonna keep Galvis, Iglesias, and Peraza. So if he's staying I hope they keep Iggy over Peraza.
But then where do they put Senzel ? I'm just not so sure he's a long term option in CF ?

At least we know exactly what we are getting with Galvis. He is 29 so his production is not going to change much, and he has been very consistent ver the last 4 years.
AB between 557 and 608.
Avg between .248 and .260.
OB% between .296 and .309.
His.438 slg% last year was higher than usual, but so was pretty much every othe player in MLB. His career is .384 and the previous 3 years it had been .380, .382, and .399.
I am not thrilled with this move, but I feel he was a bargain at $5.5 million. He has been a starter for years and is still in his prime.
