Understand JT but play is so bad that it alone is reason enough.Several people have mentioned him needing to go to AAA, but the reason is as he stated, his play is just as frustrating but his situation is not

Any chance of Calhoun coming up IYO? I'd like to see how he could handle LF and MLB pitching.Who do you replace him with? That was the issue with Odor, there was obviously someone better already playing to replace him when Andrus got back, that's not the case with Gallo
But at this point it might be Choo, with Beltre spending a lot of his time at DH lately

This is exactly my feelings in regards to Profar and Odor. Profar plays everyday at the MLB level and Odor plays everyday at the AAA level. We should want Odor to get his act back together at AAA. If he doesn't then it does not hurt the major league club plus it is all part of this being a developmental year. The development does not have to happen at the MLB level in this case. And we can hope at the very least he becomes trade worthy if Profar continues to play well.If the choice is Profar everyday or Odor everyday, its Profar everyday
If the choice is Profar at 2B full time or serving a UTIL role, then its 2B and comfort in playing one position
If its Odor being on the bench or in AAA, then its AAA, he has PLENTY to work on that could be done at AAA...
its not going to be batting average or HRs that should be looked for, is it an appreciable difference in his approach at the plate, especially with 2 strikes (same could be said for Gallo), its gotten better in recent weeks, but at the cost of his power, which made him a unique but still seriously flawed player, the time when he can put together complete ABs AND hit for power is when he can have his job back (I'd settle for complete ABs and 10-15 HRs honestly) and improved defense (also a skill that can be worked on at AAA)
I whole heartedly agree that this is a development year but at this rate you also have to play the best player when there is an accumulation of talent at one spot and as I stated before Odor has flawed skills that can be worked on at AAA
It really is bad and hard to get excited about Frisco even though it looks better than RR especially in the pitching department. Hope we can keep restocking. It all has to start at the bottom like a pyramid and hope that you have enough talent to trickle up. If the base is not strong then it will be hard to expect much at the top. Plus you hope an IKF shows up a time or two.Wow looking at the AAA roster, what an abyss of talent (pitching isn't any better, couple bullpen guys... maybe), Calhoun, Ibanez and Cole are about the only hitters I'd give a shot at ML playing time and those are a stretch at this point, Ibanez and Cole are hitting well, Calhoun is ok, but defense is probably not a selling point for all 3 (I know its not for Calhoun & Ibanez, don't really know much about Cole other than what I've read on here)
because Gallo isn't really on the verge of keeping a superior player off the field
But Gallo is keeping a superior Gallo off the field.
No Hunter Cole.By Level, people that I'm rooting for/have hopes to see accomplish something that are currently in our minor league system, cut off year of 1993, approximately 25 y/o
Chris Seise (SS), Joe Palumbo (LHP) and Cole Ragans (LHP) are currently injured and not listed on any of the rosters
David Garcia is an international catcher but he's not playing stateside yet, played in the Dominican Summer League last year

Saddles let me know if I missed any guys that weren't just drafted
Scott Heineman missed your cutoff by a month. I am also surprised they have not given Nicholas a shot since he is doing well or maybe they don't want to do anything that might expose him at the MLB level so they can use him as a trade chip. But he missed your cut by quite a bit. I also have not been impressed with Juremi Profar so far. But good job on the list overall.By Level, people that I'm rooting for/have hopes to see accomplish something that are currently in our minor league system, cut off year of 1993, approximately 25 y/o

Missed his cutoff by 3 months. But I think he mentioned him earlier.No Hunter Cole.
When Elvis is back. Put Kiner out there, he played the outfield in the minors. Move Profar to third.Who do you replace him with? That was the issue with Odor, there was obviously someone better already playing to replace him when Andrus got back, that's not the case with Gallo
But at this point it might be Choo, with Beltre spending a lot of his time at DH lately
Are you talking about Brett Nicholas. If so he was traded to the Padres earlier in the year.Scott Heineman missed your cutoff by a month. I am also surprised they have not given Nicholas a shot since he is doing well or maybe they don't want to do anything that might expose him at the MLB level so they can use him as a trade chip. But he missed your cut by quite a bit. I also have not been impressed with Juremi Profar so far. But good job on the list overall.
For me, the difference is the MLB AB for each of them. If Gallo is struggling with that much regal playing time accumulated I would feel the same about him if all other things like defense are equal as well.Amazing at all the talk about Odor and very little about Gallo who is shameful at the plate.
No Hunter Cole.

I missed that one. Thanks for letting me know.Are you talking about Brett Nicholas. If so he was traded to the Padres earlier in the year.
