Weighing In On Zac Gallen rotoballer.com Sat 5/18/19 10:30 AM
Zac Gallenisn't a name that anyone outside of prospect hounds and die-hard NL-only fantasy players will be aware of. I would include Marlins fans in that group but I'm not sure there are much of us around anymore. Gallen has emerged as an under-the-radar name that could jump onto the scene without any fanfare while pitching in the Marlins farm system.
