Fun Game: Try to guess this former Yankee by his age, teams, and decidedly meh numbers:
Here's a hint:
Yes, it's former Yank Rob "Brigadoon" Refsnyder.
Here's why I'm bringing it up: It was reported today that Refsnyder will be reemerging as a Red Sock next year...didn't see that one coming....

Et tu, Brigadoon?
I was digging into Joey Gallo's numbers a bit this afternoon. Check out his 2021 season.
April 1 - June 19
.214/.373/.391 (.764 OPS) in 276 PA
June 20 - July 7
.346/.485/1.038 (1.523 OPS) in 66 PA
July 9 - Oct. 1
.150/.296/.389 (.685 OPS) in 274 PA
We all know he struggled with the Yankees, but the scariest thing here is that aside from a two-week stretch where he hit like Barry Bonds, Gallo had a below-average slugging percent for most of the year.
Slugging!
The one thing Gallo is supposed to do well.
Let's go back a bit further.
2020 Season
.181/.301/.378 (.679 OPS) in 226 PA
For about 93% of the last two years, Gallo has been a below-average slugger.
What happened to the .533 SLG he had from 2017 to 2019?
Am I the only one concerned here?
