Gallo Diamond, Walsh Not?

Gallo has elite defense which helped him get diamond, can't just compare batting average and home runs
I mean, they took 8 contact away from Walsh... leave the contact if the man hit 3 dingers off of lefties this past week. No? And Walsh plays an elite first base. Dude has a cannon.

I do think Walsh should be diamond, I'm just saying Gallo isn't a good 1 to 1 comparison given that he has diamond defense, he wouldn't be a diamond otherwise. First base defense isn't factored valued as much in ratings

Walsh got hosed.
-
while i tend to agree BUT gallo will throw anyone out from right field and has caught sport center lately.

I gotcha. They actually have Walsh's arm strength at 40... dude was signed as a 2 way player lol no arm though, i guess
-
Peralta got hosed. Just like not getting selected to the ASG. I guess it'd be hard to justify one team getting 3 SPs selected though (and Hader).
-
Reyes still bronze! Been with him since the start, but they are strategic with who gets updates and when to mold to the market. Need more integrity with the ratings.

Tin foil hat applied. I think there are way to many people sitting on thousands of his card for them to upgrade him to where he should be.

Likely, I only have one of him but just want to see his performance translated fairly. Not a huge deal, buuut sort of is bc they are very selective with their updates

Walsh plays a solid RF when needed too. His BA against lefties is about .180 though. Definitely should have gone up 1 to Diamond
Much like Devers should be easy Diamond. On pace for 44 HR and 140 RBI and stuck at 81. Doubles machine who had 201 hits in 2019, so great track record too.

SDS takes away 8 contact v L for Walsh, after he hits 3 HR against lefties in the last 8 days.
And they appropriately bumped his power vs lefties up 10 points
To get a raise in contact we need to know how he did in all his other at bats vs lefties beyond those three HR's.Looking at his stats for the last 14 days, he is batting .229.
Vs lefties for the year he is batting .178Hard to argue that a player deserves an upgrade when they batted more than 50 points below their season avg during the time period in question. He is lucky he got the +10 to power vs lefties. Without that boost he probably gets downgraded.
-
Gallo is leading the league with bases on balls too by a pretty decent amount
-
Walsh is getting a TA3 card though.

Yeah but that TA will most likely be a 97+. A far cry from the 85 some of these guys deserve, especially Devers.

I never knew him to be such a good defender.
That eases my pain of him robbing a HR from me the other day! -

Gallo gets +4 to reach Diamond. Walsh gets +0
Chapman gets -2 and gave up a Grand Slam to Walsh. But Walsh gets +0

What is this, 1990???Does contact not relate to batting average? Gallo's contact went up, yet he has a worse average? If those two aren't connected then so be it, but seems quite logical to me.

I’m guessing they’re using xBA for contact more than BA for current players. Haven’t checked how they compare though
-
I’m not an expert on this subject, so if I’m wrong I’m wrong but I think it has something to do with gallos diamond fielding helps him reach diamond with the boost to his hitting with the fielding taken into account…maybe

Gallo’s contact went up because he’s been on a hot streak, but his contact still isn’t great. You’re also neglecting the fact that Gallo leads the league in walks and Walsh still can’t hit lefties.
