Their other option is if Guzman was not to get it going offensively which is too early to be sure of then Gallo could play 1B to limit the wear and tear if that is what they are worried about. But I would hope he is not that fragile. I think he is a really decent OFer.Starling Marte trade: The Texas organization can run Joey Gallo up the middle, which is quite a nice luxury, but probably prefers to limit the wear and tear to their star slugger. Better to plant him in a corner and install a regular center fielder. Delino DeShields Jr. isn’t that. With Willie Calhoun also an option in a corner, the Texas org could (but would not necessarily need to) utilize Nomar Mazara in this or another trade.
I guess the honeymoon is over in Philly.The Phillies have fired Kapler.
didn't Gallo openly comment that he didn't want to play 3rd or 1st?Their other option is if Guzman was not to get it going offensively which is too early to be sure of then Gallo could play 1B to limit the wear and tear if that is what they are worried about.

I could envision an outfield of Calhoun, Marte & Gallo easilyTheir other option is if Guzman was not to get it going offensively which is too early to be sure of then Gallo could play 1B to limit the wear and tear if that is what they are worried about.

He made a comment about 3B, but I can't recall him saying anything about 1B. Even his comment about 3B wasn't strong enough that he would refuse to play there if that is what the team needed.didn't Gallo openly comment that he didn't want to play 3rd or 1st?
I don’t like the team because of their fans. Astro fans are insufferable haters and the city of Houston hates the cowboys for no reason. We aren’t rivals and play in the opposite conference.
I don't ever recall seeing post season baseball so full of teams I either despise, could care less, or downright hate! There isn't one single team which I'm cheering for. All my energy is cheering against and that's no way to enjoy baseball; any other sport for that matter.
Thus, I won't be watching much ball, just checking the box scores.
I am with you on pulling for Tampa Bay. They do a great job of producing pitchers, they seem to really like playing together and I like Cash as their manager as seems to be even keeled. You are right about the fans and the stadium as well. Probably a lot of retired people there who are too busy with bocce ball and pickle ball. HA! That is coming from a person who should be retired but isn't.I'm rooting for Tampa Bay, I like their organization and the way its run and scouted, their fans sucks and their stadium sucks, but its a well run organization despite the reluctance to spend money on players
Did you approve of the use of his pen?"Have to be able to manage in the postseason"
Lol
He and Choo have been blocking better players to long. Do what is necessary to clean up the mess and start a new direction to the play offs once more.The problem with Jeff Wilson's scenario where Solak unseats Odor mid-season, is what do the Rangers do with Odor at that point? Do they go a man short in the pen to keep a backup 2B on the roster when he cannot play another position?
I doubt most teams would see any wisdom in rostering a player who can only backup one position, except catcher, even if the rosters went to 27. Most will probably add one more bullpen piece.Re Odor one extra roster spot next year. Up to 26
