He has an honorary spot on my team forever just from slugging Bautista in the face.

Odor is not good.  Anything that adds a not good player to the Yankees and costs them another player dropped from their 40 man roster and 2 minor league prospects is good.  I'm shocked that the Ranger

No, you're trying to bully yourself out of a situation for no reason whatsoever, because this is what you do and have been able to get away with for far too long.  And you deserve everyone here to tre

Yankees are getting Odor thus insuring he becomes a good player again.

Where are they gonna put him?  I guess as a backup INF he's alright but they've got LeMahieu at 2nd, Gleyber at SS.  Urshela at 3rd.  Odor doesn't make a whole lot of sense unless he's a backup infielder which, at this point in his career, he just might be.

My guess is they move him all around.  I think they just see an opportunity at grabbing a young guy who has shown promise and they are basically getting him for free...so, why not take a shot?

I agree, he stands to be a good pickup for them.  Will be interesting to see what they do with him.

DJ to 1B when Odor plays 2B maybe...

Am I really a better option then Roughned Odor at 2nd base?
 
Steve Adams

I think so

Thairo Estrada??

Thought this myself. Ultimately, his poor minor league OBP has me kind of meh on him. But he's a young SS/2B and we seem to need all of those we can get. I don't know if Elias would DFA someone to claim him though.

It is actually saving the Yankees money to have Odor on the roster over a player making the minimum because the Rangers are paying more than his CBT value. Any other player would at least cost the $560K-ish minimum.

While it saves them some luxury tax space, it doesn't save them actual cash.  And it still puts a bad player on their 26 man roster.  I didn't want Odor because I don't think he's very good.  Glad to have him on NY's bench.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By LGOrioles · Posted

      Cano has been great since June 1st even if the last week has been rough. 11.27 K/9, 3.41 ERA, 2.56 FIP, 2.64 xFIP, 2.73 SIERA. Perez’s ERA is worse than last year but his K-BB rate, FIP, and xERA are all better than last year, while his xFIP is slightly worse. I don’t feel notably different about those two this year than heading into the playoffs last year. If anything, having Cano as a 7th/8th inning option instead of the closer like last year is probably better.  The pen isn’t great but I don’t think it’s that bad. Cano, Perez, Soto, Dominguez, Coulombe, Webb, and Akin have combined for a 3.37 ERA and 9.81 K/9 this year with the O’s. They’re missing a go to back end guy (which is evident when pitching to guys like Judge and Soto) but they have a number of solid options that can strike guys out. Guys like Kimbrel, Irvin, Baker, Smith, Tate, Ramirez, and Heasley really hurt the overall bullpen ERA and they won’t be pitching in the playoffs. I’m definitely taking them over KC’s pen and I’m not sure it’s that much worse than any other AL playoff team’s besides Cleveland.

      Will the Orioles get home field advantage during the Wild Card?

      By SteveA · Posted

      Your conclusions are 100% correct, but it has nothing to do with division records in that 3 way tie It is head to head results among the tied teams: 1) Det 10-9 (4-2 vs Balt, 6-7 vs KC) 2) Balt 3-3 (4-2 vs KC, 2-4 vs Det) 3) KC 9-10 (2-4 vs Balt, 7-6 vs Det)

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By glenn__davis · Posted

      I assumed the OP meant next year.  I don't think there's anyone on the international side who has a chance at this point to blow up that quickly.  I agree that if we're looking beyond just next year then yes, that's more likely.

      By SteveA · Posted

      You are wrong. If Detroit wins out and the Orioles are swept (and KC doesn't sweep), we fall to the #2 wild card due to our tiebreak loss to Detroit head to head.  Detroit is the #1 wild card in that case.  We are the #2 wild card.   If KC wins 1 or 2, they are the #3 wild card, otherwise Minnesota is the #3 wild card. If Detroit wins out AND KC wins out and we are swept, it is a 3 way tie for the 3 wild card spots.   Based on head to head among tied teams, we are 3-3 (4-2 vs KC, 2-4 vs Det), KC is 9-10 (2-4 vs us, 7-6 vs Det), and Det is 10-9 (4-2 vs us, 6-7 vs KC).   So Det is the #1, we are the #2, and KC is the #3. So to be the #1 wild card and get home field Tuesday, we need either one win or one Detroit loss.   KC's results are irrelevant to whether we get the #1 spot or not, although they could jump us and Detroit by winning out if we lose out and Det wins out.

      LOL, I was worried last year about getting swept in four games by the Red Sox when the magic number for the division was 1. Part of being a fan is imagining the worst case scenario. I would agree it's not likely, though.

      O's just need to win 1. O's lose home field if they go 0-3 and Tigers go 3-0. I actually have no idea what happens if the O's go 0-3, Tigers go 3-0, and Royals go 3-0. They'd all be 88-74. O's have tiebreaker over the Royals, but not over the Tigers. Royals have the tiebreaker over the Tigers, but not the Orioles. lol Does anybody know what happens in that situation? Does it go to intradivision?  If so, here are their records intradivision: Orioles: 32-20 (.615)  in AL East Royals: 33-19 (.634) in AL Central Tigers: 27-22 in AL Central Interestingly enough, that loss against the Yankees now means the Royals have the intradivision tie breaker. So it does look like there are 2 scenarios where the O's don't get home field: O's go 0-3, Tigers go 3-0 OR O's go 0-3 and Tigers go 3-0/Royals go 3-0. If the Tigers lose, doesn't matter what the Royals or O's do.  I think?

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      Skubal holds Slater to a .000 average/.000 OPS. SSS with only 5 AB's, but he's 0-5 with 0 walks and 2k's. DH vs Skubal = Rivera
