Odor had a -0.5 WAR coming into tonight's game and is on pace for a -4.7 WAR season currently. The Orioles have other options at 2B that were already in the organization even if they aren't any good. 

Neither is Odor and the Orioles have to pay him the veteran minimum for this season. Which normally wouldn't be a big deal to most teams, but with Odor it probably keeps him safe until August.

Odor now is tied for 3rd on the Orioles for rbi's. Ahead of Mullins and Mancini. 8th lowest AB's on the team also

Textbook bunt by Odor in the 10th inning.  So refreshing to see a well executed bunt.  Also nice to see the pitcher boot it!

He's been better than I expected.  That said I'm looking forward to seeing him replaced hopefully soon by the youth movement.

Bannon, Jahmai Jones and Vavra are all on the 40-man roster. All of them are at least 24 years-old and Bannon and Vavra are OPSing .850+ at Norfolk. All 3 are at risk of losing their 40-man roster spots by the offseason. Would much rather see one of them than Odor at this point.

I doubt that any of the 4 (including Odor) are likely to be Major League contributors in three years, but I would rather spread the service time around if we are going to be a bad team.

Not sure what Martin has done to earn a spot. Would rather have a second baseman with a bat, with Mateo and Urias splitting shortstop and playing the occasional second. Have no problems cutting Owings for Nevin though.

He's OPSing .837 at Norfolk this year. Not that I expect that to carry over against MLB pitching (in fact, I would be shocked if he OPSed .650), and SSS, but it's about as well as he's ever hit.

Can't say I have super strong feelings about it, just don't think it is ideal roster management to have 3 players capable of playing shortstop on the MLB roster rather than someone who is not a shortstop but offers more pop.

It is all deck chairs on the Titanic anyway, as we are talking about a bunch of players who are too old to be prospects, who wouldn't have 40-man roster spots on a good team, and who I would have no qualms with cutting loose when Adley is added.

When in doubt, make someone else's MLB dream come true, rather than someone like Martin who has already spent time in the Majors and is older than Vavra, Jones and Bannon.

Vavra is on the IL. Jones isn't hitting, and Bannon has 6 errors in 17 games to begin the season.

Martin has an 837 OPS and has not made an error in 10 games playing SS at AAA this year.  I am not saying now but  maybe in the next two weeks.

      Hm, seems like perfect situation for Akin as an opener, maybe game 3 if necessary?

      Another possibility: If you win game 1, maybe you don't ptich Eflin in Game 2 and try to win Game 2 without using him.   I mean, worst that can happen is you lose and have Eflin for game 3 anyway.   So you won't lose the wild card series without pitching your two best. But you COULD win the wild card series without your two best, and then you would have Eflin and Burnes lined up for games 1 and 2 in Cleveland

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      I like Law a lot, but that is a beyond asinine comment about not playing every day on a playoff team. You know how many playoff teams would slot him in the lineup immediately every game? Answer: the large majority. The Yankees would take Cowser over Verdugo The Tigers might not put him in over Greene/Meadows/Carpenter, but they’d DH him over their options. Cowser would start over every outfielder for the Royals, IMHO. He’d start over Meyers and Dubon for the Astros. The Guardians would probably start him over anybody not named Kwan in the OF, tbh.  I can keep going.

      Even more of a reason to like FG over BBref,  tbh. Thanks, didn’t realize they switched this year. My point re: FIP is that I rather prefer it over RA/9, not to say it’s perfect. RA/9 treats all runs allowed by a pitcher the same regardless of them being earned or unearned. So, a pitcher on a team with a terrible defense is going to be judged much more harshly than somebody that pitches on a top tier defense. Not to mention the bullpen taking over mid inning dilemma. The funny thing is in your example re: FIP, RA/9 would have the first pitcher but love the second. Either way, these stats, like nearly all single solitary stats, aren’t best taken alone.  For your example, let’s say Pitcher A allowed weak contact and the defenders just had poor range, poor arms, whatever, but in the second example the defenders had great range and great arms making amazing plays to prevent any damage…then what?  Anyways, give me FIP over RA/9 was my point. But if you want to truly assess a pitcher, you’re going to need a few complimentary stats to go along with it.

      Really zooming the microscope in on one game with Tarik Skubal, would you consider batting Austin Slater 3rd or 4th to basically pinch hit in the 1st inning, and then replace him in LF with Cowser in the top of the 2nd inning. A tactic that might look good to the SIGBOT but could freak out actual ballplayers.

      It would make sense. I think there are four possibilities for not announcing Eflin yet: 1. It’s going to be Eflin, we’re just waiting to announce to make it harder for Tigers/Royals to prepare. 2. Hyde and FO are discussing whether to slot Eflin for game 3 to possibly save him for ALDS game 1. 3. Hyde and FO are discussing a possible opener strategy for game 2. 4. Eflin has some minor aches/pains/soreness so we’re delaying the announcement to make sure he will be healthy enough.
