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

Odor's a strange case... he's very young, but he's got a few years of experience, has a 30HR season under his belt, etc. There's still some growing pains there, I believe. And FWIW, I'm OK with.

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.


In regard to odor and his situation, we've seen time and time again the downside of having a " players" oriented manager. I'm sure everyone remembers the year Wash kept trotting Murphy out there because he was " one of his guys" despite the fact that Murphy could barely even make contact and showed no signs of breaking out of the slump. If you combine the ineptitude of the hitting coach iapoce with odors stubborn temperament, I think we are looking at a long season for odor.

In a way, I agree with the Crawler here.

Roog knows I got his back!

OK you get to pick. Should we think of you as "Mr Foxhole" or "Going down a dark alley comrade" from now on?

That's right Dave...Gallo has 7 straight solo HRs means you move him up in the order to see if he can do more damage.

Damn I hate that Frazier guy. He always seems to kill us.

It's OK to admit you on occasion lose your way, get silly drunk, or become a total brain-dead-dumb-ass.

We're all friends here. Right Crawler? ha ha
