I think Odor needs to be handled better than he's been, but I'm still against a demotion at this point.
At what point are you for a demotion. He hasn't hit all year. The season is 3 months in and he's barely hitting .200.

If we get rolled by this team

JD definitely needs to make sure we're sellers at the deadline. The white Sox are the worst team in the American League.

Odor on a fine turn/throw for the DP.....Pretty decent scoop by Gallo too.

So it's the team's/managers problem he swings at everything? Not sure what you mean by "handled" and who does this handling?

I'd like to see him hit lower in the order and benched more, before anything. It hasn't seemed to me like there's been any response from Banister as far as his performance has gone.

If your going to bench him more,who plays second. I sure don't want to see Kozma out there.

At his current rate of swinging like Don Quixote, is there any harm in sitting him against LHP and let Kosma play second? Kosma is terrible at the plate but solid defense.

Very good point. Hadn't thought of it.....obviously. ha

To date, he's a better 2nd baseman than Odor and they're both hitting under their weight.

Kozma being the 2B is obviously not ideal, but if it sends Roogie a message, I'm for it.

AAA worked last year. But you're exactly right. Why not try something else if you're not willing to duplicate last years formula?

At least when Fielder batted under his weight that could mean .270. Not bad.

Make no mistake, I totally acknowledge Odor has regressed at the plate this year. But I'd like to see an on-field response before a roster response, is all I'm saying.
