Odor with 9 walks in his last 8 games, hopefully he can cut down on his uppercut swings and maybe he can get things going

We really need that to happen. I do not know of a 2B in the minors ready to be up at the MLB level anytime soon. If he gets it going the power also will come back. Would love to see things click with him.

They only let Palumbo pitch 3 innings tonight, three well-pitched innings.

Latz had another very good outing as well, and has his ERA down to 1.72.

Santana could do an adequate job at second base full time. The rangers seem dead set on putting odor in the lineup no matter what tho.

Doesn't it seem like the BP game turns out well more often that not in the MLB? Not sure why.

More difficult to fill out a line up card if you don’t know who comes next.

At some point the team will need to spend money on position player free agents. We may have to get a 2B at some point that way. Or maybe Anderson Tejeda becomes our second baseman in 2021.

Santana is a legitimate possibility as well.

From MLB Trade Rumors.

Rangers fourth-rounder Cody Freeman (No. 115) has signed for $900K – significantly more than his $502K slot value – Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports. Freeman, yet another California high schooler, had committed to Baylor. Baseball America notes Freeman has “premium instincts” and offers a “well-rounded” package.

Who will start for the Rangers the next time the No. 5 spot in the pitching rotation comes up?

 

[saddles]

Guzman has switched agents. He is with Boras now.

I would love for him to learn to hit the ball where it is pitched and take balls away, to the opposite field. MY was so good at that, wish he could get Odor to improve in that aspect, it would make him a much better hitter.

It seems like he was doing that for a while but not lately.

That will be the end of him here.

 

[Kelleyman]

Forsythe cuts into his ABs frequently. Odd man out at times...

Wonder what plan is to make room for Willie Rakes

His bat hasn’t progressed as I hoped it would.

Got to get Gallo back and DDJ may be going back down and one of the relievers will probably make room for Willie. Just a guess

If DeShields is hitting decently I could see them sending Willie back down.

That would mean three CF . Gallo Santana and DDJ who is lest versatile.

[Kelleyman]

Willie is not going to be optioned. Would make
it easier if Gallo added at same time. Because yes hard to option DDJ for Willie
