The Rockies and Don arrive at the Ballpark to face the Rangers - COL v TEX

It is a no brainer who the everyday 2B should be when this happens.

Does his name start with a P?

Banister isn’t very smart.

I’m expecting the opposite to happen.

I expect the typical non-decision decision to be made. One where both players play part time even though one has an OPS about 170 points better than the other one.

I could sort of live with that actually.


I’m going to be pissed if odor plays everyday while Profar rides the pine.

I fear Banny wants to get his favorite son 150 games at least.

I wouldn't like them doing that at all. Indecision never helped anyone.

Got us a win today, and picked up a Beltre bobblehead for a friend too.

FWIW, Odor is hitting .264 over the past 21 games. Had a key hit today too.

Have you not heard Don? The sky is falling and you can't stop it.

Profar and IKF are still outplaying him.

 

[scotsman1948]

and y'all are so hung up on complaining about Odor etc that Trevino got his first hit and rbi and you missed it

 

[DT LUNA]

Profar and IKF are still outplaying him.

Wait for a decision.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Wait for a decision.

Yeah yeah

I can wait 2 days.

I didn't miss it at all myself.....Got a nice, albeit short, standing O for his hit......Did it offend your sensitivities that no one made note?....Relax man

 

[donaldson79]

Defensively yes.....Offensively no

I hope they send IKF down so he can get regualr duty, and gain some experience at catching. I mentioned this before.......Let's be frank here, it doesn't make shit-to-shine-ola who plays 2nd for us right now.

If it were up to me, I'd keep both Profar and Odor up, send IKF down, and they'll be plenty of opportunities for both Pro/Odor to get regular playing time.

That is a fact. Some will never understand we are not in contention but evaluating personnel.

Like you said much earlier. 2018 is all about 2019 and beyond.

I think the problem is that Profar was jacked all around before and it did him no favors. I don't really want to do that to him again. I know some of wanted us to trade Beltre to a WS contender and right now he is showing value. If that happens then it opens a door up for Profar.

(1) We definitely jacked Profar. This isn't debatable IMO. Have no idea why this all happened, other than the 'Washington Factor' and I don't want to get into this now. Wasn't good for him or us. But we aren't doing that now. Honestly, I don't think he's an everyday SS for a good team today. Arm ain't what it should be. And maybe we contributed to this. Anyway (2) I'd trade Beltre to a contender, and I don't give a crap, at least so much, what we get back, if he'd get the ring; for sure (3) Profar can play 2nd for sure IMO, and I think he'd be fine at 3rd.

We've got openings damn near everywhere, unless I'm missing something. So like DT said earlier, "we're in the business of evaluating talent in 2018" and little else should matter.

We are multi-tasking.
