They need to get him up to AA and see what he can do. He's dominating that league...again. How are his K's?

Probably by the end of the summer. (as long as things keep going well)

I didn't need to dance. I'm in Euless and it's coming down right now. I don't really want a rain out now though. I'm excited. This move has JD's fingerprints all over it.

I'm excited about our line up too. But more worried about how Harrison will do with their line up.

@drewdavison: Jon Daniels said club informed Joe Saunders that likely role when he's ready will be in 'pen. #Rangers

@RangerBlake: Rangers add INFS Rougned Odor and Luis Sardinas and RHP Justin Germano to roster. INF Josh Wilson and RHP Scott Baker des. for assignment.

Odor started off slow this year but was getting it going now. Have been a fan of his for some time but well try and not to expect too much right away. But I am really confused on why we would let someone who I think could help us out like Baker go. That makes no sense to me at all.

This has nothing to do with much. But I don't recall ever having seen/heard of anything quite like this.

BURLINGTON, Iowa -- Being down 16 runs after five innings was no problem for a minor league affiliate of the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday night.
The Clinton LumberKings trailed the Burlington Bees 17-1 after five in a game between clubs based in Iowa. Nineteen runs later, the comeback was complete for Clinton, which wound up winning the Class A Midwest League game 20-17 in 12 innings.

I'm only guessing. But maybe the Rangers feel no one is going to offer him a ML assignment, and perhaps they're hoping he'll sign here on a minor league deal.

Like I said, only guessing.

Even if Harrison pitches a beauty it will need lots of offense. Hope he doesn't waste a good performance on lack of hitting.

I felt, and said so many times earlier, that both Harrison and Lewis would have to be given time to regain form. I'm guessing we're still several more starts - like through the end of this month anyway - for both of them to regroup.

They have both been out of the action for a long, long time.

I'm excited about Odor! It's about time..

I'm shocked about Baker. I don't get it...

Where do you find these reports? Keep turning over rocks and something may get ya.

Have always agreed with that and it shows now and with a bad offense they hardly have a chance of a win for a while.

I think he should have been after the others started to cool off, which was weeks ago. We're losing with the way we've been doing it. Try something new. We need a spark. It should light a fire under Elvis too. I'm afraid EA is who he is. I see no progression. I expected his power to come around and it's just not happening. He's a .270 hitter w/ no power, and not many doubles. That contract is not looking good right now. I expect Profar to be our SS of the future. We need Odor to excel though.

EA will be trade bait at the trading deadline ( if we are sellers, which is a definite possibility, and if Profar is healthy), or during the offseason. I agree with you, he's not progressing at all. In fact, he's digressed this year IMO.

Tigers need a SS. EA can re-team with Kinsler. Any Tiger prospects, preferably pitching, we like????

How about Scherzer for Elvis!!! Just kidding of course. They have Iglesias, but he's hurt.
