I hope you're passing through right now Eph......The morning show on the Ticket is about to "dissect" Odor's season; I gather both good & bad.....08:54
I wouldn’t be surprised if Calhoun is traded before next year begins.

It was primarily Craig Miller, and basically he feels that Odor hasn't been coached, nor handled properly by the organization from the time he's been signed here. Miller said, "why would he (Odor) not think he's arrived when he's been given the 2nd base job, and a $50 million dollar contract?" Good question.
But consequently, Miller feels that in the meantime, he's not been coached up - insert, fundamental defense and plate discipline - and just like anything else in life, once you develop a bad habit, the harder it is to change rather than learning the proper way to do things in the first place.
I wish I was.
Odor's season is definitely fodder for a ton of dissection.
For all the knocks against Ron Washington, he was an expert-level infielder coach, and probably could have straightened Roogie out in that regard.
the "very" negative article on Odor yesterday via ESPN
they can go to hell.
It was supported with some heavy facts, and those facts were pretty alarming.....I read it and now can't find it for squat.
He is a great infield coach. He was just a victim of the Peter Principle.For all the knocks against Ron Washington, he was an expert-level infielder coach, and probably could have straightened Roogie out in that regard.
I don't expect him to be traded, but we do have a glut of COF/1B/DH types right now so something has to give. If they need him to get a deal done for pitching I can see them including him in a trade.This is almost as ludicrous as saying "we should have kept him in the minors instead of calling him up."
I didn't listen to them talk about Odor, but I have found that dissecting baseball is not their strong suit. It isn't necessarily their ability to find facts that are available, but it is their interpretation of those facts that I have found lacking in the past. This very well may have been one of their better discussions though.I hope you're passing through right now Eph......The morning show on the Ticket is about to "dissect" Odor's season; I gather both good & bad.....08:54

The fact that he and/or Guzman would have to repeat AAA is evidence of the glut. Sometimes a glut in one area is used to trade for a lack in another area.Well, Nap is definitely out of the picture for next year. And I would bet money on Calhoun starting the season in AAA next year, regardless of how ST goes.
The one in 2015 where we came back to win the division after being down by 8 games in early August was pretty special. We finished 37-21 after being a couple of games below .500 in early August.Gotta say, if we were to somehow come back to make the post season then this may be one of the most magnanimous comebacks I've seen. Certainly here in Arlington.
