I really don't remember hearing much of this at the time. Everything I've read about signability concerns is relatively recent. Maybe teams are saying that because they don't want to admit they missed? I remember the majority of concerns were whether he would make enough contact (much like Gatewood last year). Gallo was committed to LSU, sure, but I don't think there was much to be concerned about, he only signed for $2.25 million, about $1 million over slot. And this was before we had bonus pools to worry about, so they could have paid him what they were willing. Unfortunately, the Brewers almost never paid guys more than slot, yet they'll give Braden Looper, Jeff Suppan, etc. tens of millions.
