About Joe Gallina - RotoBaller
When I’ve got time to bleed, I bleed Giant Pinstripe blue. I’m a fantasy guru with a knack for finding that diamond in the rough that will help you win your fantasy league. Over the years, my fellow fantasy team owners would scratch their heads when I would draft and stash future fantasy stars like Kershaw, Strasburg and Puig. When I drafted rookies like Doug Martin and Eddie Lacy they'd ask themselves, who are these guys? Well now they know, and because I have agreed to share my fantasy sports knowledge with you, you'll know before everyone else too.
