Aristotelian Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Matt Harvey of the middle infield? He hit 15 HR in 300+ ABs. I could see him hit 25 bombs in a contract year at Camden Yards. Was hoping for Harrison. I only hope he doesn't take ABs from Urias. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owknows Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Well... he's an awful 2nd Baseman... but at least he's awful with the bat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His brother of the same name (middle names are different) also played pro ball in the Rangers minor leagues for a time, back in 2017. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony-OH Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Not sure I understand this at all. So I guess Urias goes back to utility for the 2022 version of Maikol Franco? This seems like a deal you make last offseason. Call me confused. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luismatos4prez Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Strong defender according to Baseball Savant (+8 OAA last year at 2B, +1 at 3B) but below average according to DRS and UZR. No idea what to make of that. Not a good hitter at all (career 80 wRC+ vs LHP, 88 wRC+ vs RHP) He's only 27 still somehow but I'm not seeing the upside here.

SteveA Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 13 minutes ago, Yardball85 said: I feel like I should get this joke... but I do not lol. Please explain? Read his wikipedia entry. He has a brother named Rougned Odor, a minor leaguer in the Rangers organization. Different middle names. By the way, the origin of the name is that he is named after a combination of his father "Douglas" and his grandmother "Nedia" but they have a family tradition of naming all the kids names that begin with R so instead of "DougNed" they went with Rougned. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverRocket Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Statcast has his Outs Above Average as excellent, he's only 27, and he played some 3B last year too. I like this signing assuming it's not expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet mid season last year the Yankees thought he was a solution to their problem of having no LH bats to speak of and went out and got him and installed him as a starter on a contending team for a while. Until he played his way out of the lineup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murph Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 At least we’re spending some money? Yea this feels like the previous years…..oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Regular Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I was surprised how much the Yankees used him, but that probably had more to do with how desperate they were for any left-handed balance before their Gallo and Rizzo pickups. Both he and Urias played some 3B last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHRESH Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Not a fan of this. All we can do is root for a strong first half and find some sucker to trade for him. I doubt he's going to have much length on his leash though. Hopefully, they cut ties early if he sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well statcast had him as well above average defensively at 2B. His bat though has been terrible for that last two years. The way he's declined, I wonder if they have his actual birth certificate because he's was an old 27 last year. Unless he was injured, his running speed has fallen off a cliff the last two years.
