Rangers and Odor visit Royals 06/18-06/20

[DT LUNA]

Profar will start too IMO. Just think Roofies gets ABs as well unless sent down

Agree

 

[Kelleyman]

They'll shuffle around for about a week, Beltre DHing, Profar playing 3B, SS and 2B to rest the others, so they can see if Odor will maintain his current not being awful streak he's currently in

In all fairness Profar is probably a due a day off soon, he's played almost everyday since Andrus got hurt... Like I said, give it about another week and then tough decision time

Yeah things may clear up in a bit after break but if not then some tougher decisions. Funny they kept IKF up to be back up catcher. Wonder if we see a start soon

Do you think Elvis or Beltre get moved at the deadline?

Saddles let me know if I missed any guys that weren't just drafted

Maybe add Kyle Cody to the list of injired. Ryan Dease in Spokane and Tyreque Reed in Hickory. Brady Feigl and Hunter Cole in Round Rock.

 

[Kelleyman]

Do you think Elvis or Beltre get moved at the deadline?

No to Elvis. Maybe for Beltre. Slight maybe for Profar. Choo maybe. If Choo is moved then Beltre gets more ABs at DH. A lot of moving parts but if none are moved then unfortunately Profar gets shuffled around the diamond. I hope that does not happen

 

[saddles]

Banister has said his goal is to get Profit in the lineup 5 times a week. Nothing on how many times anyone else will play. Why do you guys think he has come out and said that about Profar, but no one else?

I would be disappointed if there’s not at least 3 trades made this July.

We have to focus on the farm and the future.

Probably will see some but have no idea how many. Hamels most likely for certain but after him it's anyone's guess.

Because he wants to put rest of team on notice that some may lose a day or two playing time a week including Odor, Beltre, Gallo, Elvis, and Mazara and even Guzman. But he is also stating that Profar does not currently have a regular position

 

[Nightcrawler]

I hope Cole goes to the Yankees.

I’ll be happy as long as someone beats the Astros this year.

 

[Kelleyman]

He was already there

Deck McGuire DFA?

Good call on DFA for McGuire. Profar to also play 3B and DH this week. Bet Gallo plays CF on Profar DH day

 

[Kelleyman]

Kyle Cody was listed on the Down East roster so I put him there, never heard of the other pitchers, Hunter Cole was mentioned previously in the other thread

 

[Kelleyman]

Well one less tonight and maybe the dam breaks loose a bit earlier this season

All possibilities for sure

I see Beltre, Hamels and a couple bullpen guys moved, maybe Colon, maybe Choo, we'll get some solid prospects in return but nothing amazing either

 

[Kelleyman]

This is probably as accurate prediction as one of the beats will give. As opposed to Jeff W

But do you promise to be not disappointed if it happens. Ha

 

[DT LUNA]

Choo w/LOHR 1-0

 

[DT LUNA]

Good to see EA back.
