Yeah thinking it was fools gold.The early success was a mirage. They morphed right back into what they really are, just not very good offensively and the SP and BP are really inadequate

Miller and Smyly are about what we thought they would be. For the sake of the bullpen we should have found a couple of better pitchers. We have one in Sampson, but they are too stubborn to move him to the rotation.
JD teams continue to be challenged when it comes to making the right decision about using a pitcher as a starter or a reliever. It has been that way since at least as far back as 2010.
I would put EV in same category. Gone to the knife twice. Miller has best stuff but very erratic. Did not expect much. Give it time Sampson will start. If he did not have options he would be starting. Regardless these 3 or 4 are only placeholders which is probably best move considering MILB call ups
To me if we can get Gallo, Mazara, Odor and Guzman producing consistently at a higher level. This season should be considered successful

To me it is successful if we simply find out about them so we know what we need going forward. Each of those individuals do not need to have success for the organization to have a successful season.To me if we can get Gallo, Mazara, Odor and Guzman producing consistently at a higher level.

Him and Gallo have continued trending like they were during the last few weeks of 2018.I haven’t been as vocal about it this year, but Odor is playing up to his name so far.

One has to wonder how many opportunities Odor and DDJ gets.We might have to revive the send him down or keep him up with the big club debate in a few weeks if the little shit doesn’t get going.
I think Odor has it made for quite awhile no matter how he hits. The only guy in the system that could even make the Rangers think about making a change in the next 2 years is Eli White. White would have to play better than Profar did to have even a remote shot.One has to wonder how many opportunities Odor and DDJ gets.

I think JD is married to Odor as long as he is under contract. It will be very interesting to see how the organization responds if guys like Seise, Apostel and Arias continue to develop and are ready to make the jump to Arlington in 2022 while Odor still has a year left.

Giving Odor an extension was a huge mistake. He ,imo, plays with a chip on his shoulder knowing JD is locked in. Question to be asked, will he buy into Woody's process?

Doesn’t mean we have to double down on that mistake by giving him special treatment on line up cards and protecting him from going to triple A when he’s stinking up the joint every night.
Any value based on WAR is built on someone's theory of worth and value. It is subjective.Trout's final line versus the Rangers
6-11, 5 HRs (1 grand slam), 9 RBIs, 5 runs, 6 BB (2 IBB), 2.631 OPS, .7 WAR
He accrued 5.6 million dollars (according to WAR) of value in this series alone (9.6 Million on the season)
