I think the only way Tejada is the starting SS is if the Rangers trade Andrus which I would be for. I would be shocked if they had him on the bench.
I don't think he will be benched. Would rather see Elvis move to 2nd and bench Oder.

I would rather trade Odor + half of what is owed him, play Solak at 2nd and play Tejeda at SS even if we have to bench or trade Andrus

Not likely we trade either. Solak is ideal at 2nd but will be blocked by Oder. That is why I like Andrus moving to 2nd and benching Oder. But it would be better to trade either or of them.

This would be a good time for Odor to get hot. Offer Odor and $14M and 3 horses for whatever.

Verlander needs tommy John surgery.

i have nothing against the guy and wish him well, but I’m glad it hurts the astros chances of winning anytime soon. They don’t deserve it.

Anderson Tejeda has never played above A ball until this year and has a 2% walk rate and 40% K rate. He slugged .441, .439, and .386 in three years at A ball and is currently slugging .500 in MLB. He has run into a couple home runs early in his big league career and has a .423 BABIP boosting his short sample size OPS. He would be the worst hitter in MLB at this rate once his luck normalizes.

He's a raw prospect. He needs to be in AA next year.

Some of yall need to spend a day on Fangraphs or Baseball Reference learning about the game. It's the same people that thought Danny Santana was a stud because of his numbers last year. Same people that think Gallo is horrible because he has sucked this year.

Maybe you can find the Humangraphs and Human Reference websites and learn how to talk to folks like human beings instead of trying to show what a jerk you can be.

So 2021 will be a youth movement season and we can afford to let him learn with the team along with Taveras, Huff and Trevino

No way Elvis plays 2nd. He is either our SS or is traded.
You may be right but it is the best way to keep Tejeda on the field and Oder on the bench.

I think we start out with Solak at 2B next year and Elvis at SS. Tejeda probably plays at 3B with Apostle getting a chance to unseat Guzman at 1B. I look for an outfield of Santana, Gallo and Taveras, but White may get some playing time early if Santana is not ready. Calhoun most likely is at DH and plays in the OF 2 or 3 times each week.

Samtana will probably be shopped at next year's deadline along with Lynn.

Just my guesses based on observations.

If there is any way to deal Lyles and Gibson in a couple of months, I think we should. Open up the rotation for the young guys. I imagine they will keep Lynn until the next deadline.

So you think they are giving up on Oder. Seeing is believing. If they do what is right then you have a good prediction but I'll wait to see if if justice prevails

I think they are finally benching him and making him learn new positions. It is at least a year late, but that seems to be the plan.
