Series Thread: Rangers Play The Indians In Cleveland April 30 - May 2

If we all knew what we are talking about, would JD have a job?lol

 

[DT LUNA]

I can if he can be dealt. But he is owed $21,000,000 in 2019 and 2020. Not sure who will take that on. And if we have to pay part of his salary to make the trade how much do we want to give of that $21,000,000.

And is Calhoun worth what we have to give up?

Suppose Odor goes down and does well and at least one of Profar and IKF do well. Then we have more proof that Odor can hit AAA pitching and no proof that he can do better up here long term. What do you do for 2019 then? Do you give the job back to Odor and let the other guys sit?

I don't recall Odor being good in the minors, but I could be forgetful.

But if your best case scenario comes true, I won't care so much who stays/starts and who doesn't. I do know it would be a great position for us to be in.

And keep in mind too, that if EA comes back, plays well, and we feel really confident Profar can handle SS, maybe he comes back into the trade play. Not suggesting/recommending anything.

When he went down in 2015 he hit .352.

He was our #8 prospect in 2013 and our #1 prospect in 2014.

He tore it up in 2013. That was when I noticed him. He was leading the league in doubles in a spacious ball park in Myrtle Beach and hitting over 300 then was called up to Frisco and in around 30 games again hit over 300 with 8 doubles, 2 triples and 6 HRs. Sad thing is in 2016 with the Rangers he hit .271 with 33 doubles and 33 HRs. Would love to see that Odor again.

Aren't we all. lol

What a shame. Brantley should have been taking a seat but ump gave him a 2nd chance.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

So much for that.

Moore stinking it up.

 

[scotsman1948]

great start


for Cleveland

Is IKF natural position catcher? The reason I ask, someone mentioned - believe it was yesterday - they wondered if he'd be our starting catcher next season. Darn good question, and I'm sorry I didn't give ya a like when it was posted. But we need some stability, and pop from behind the plate which we're really missing from our two headed monster back there now.

Maz with a missile

Yeah my hopes for Moore have been dashed. Nice guy, too. Shame.

Sure hope he's not here next season.

STRANGE: I just noticed we're only starting 2 guys today hitting under .200 and the Indians have SIX.

His natural position is that of a MIF. He started catching in 2016.

Pitching has been the name of their game.

Not after today they won't.

Thank you partner. Much appreciated.

Maybe he could be our # 2 catcher next season, and fill in at 2nd/3rd too.

But something I was thinking about is, what FA pitcher is wanting to come to an organization where they don't really have a ML starting caliber catcher?
