The guys name is Rougned Odor but "Roughened Odor" is how it appeared on my push notification on my phone!

Odor! Odor!

Wondering what happens if he plays really well and then Profar comes back... Most likely they will send him back down but still it could be something to watch

Hodor. Hodor!

If the Rangers continue to struggle... they "could" blow the whole thing up.

Alex Rios - team option for 2015 ($13.5M)
Joakim Soria - team option for 2015
G Soto - FA after 2014
Cotts - FA after 2014
Frasor - FA after 2014

With Andrus, Profar and Odor... you'd think one would have to go.

Excited to see him. Don't understand why we haven't seen more Sardinas though.

IIRC, Sardinas and Profar were signed at about the same time... they were considered close, with the edge to Profar.

Sardinas had some injuries and that has slowed him.

Its ok... nobody else on here (except me) seems to know what they're talking about either.

Actually, I had double checked before originally posting. They had signed a number of International middle IFsrs and I wanted to make sure I hadn't confused them.

Sardinas is still pretty well thought of isn't he? If he's already been passed up by Odor, should he just be trade bait?

Odor, Sardinas, Profar, Andrus

No way we keep all 4. I must say I'm really impressed with Odor so far, but let's see how he looks after more plate appearances.

And don't forget Leury Garcia who was traded to ChiSox.


Leury Garcia: March 18, 1991 (23yr 56 days) - Projected to be utility IF.


Elvis Andrus: August 26, 1988 (25 yr 259 days)

Jurickson Profar: February 20, 1993 (21 yrs 82 days)
Luis Sardinas: May 16, 1993 (20 yrs 362 days)
Rougned Odor: February 3, 1994 (20 yrs 99 days)

Oh... and Travis Demeritte was a 1st rounder.


Odor is a 2B, while the others can play either SS or 2B.

IIRC, Sardinas was neck-and-neck with Profar, until injuries set him back. Profar has better power, while Sardinas had better defense.

If I were to project... Odor is the likely 2B'er. I believe he projects to have power but has always played a league higher than he should have, because he is that good. Did you see that bat speed on the HR he hit?

I think Profar could push Elvis out as SS. Profar projects to be just as good defensively and speed, but offers more power.

I think he is still highly regarded... I just don't see Sardinas ever getting a legit shot to play full time, barring injury.

I know many scoff at the contract Elvis got... but, I think after 2014... he could be out.
