I'd be happier if I got to see Rodriguez, Hall, Henderson and Westburg by now.

But then you'd just go on to the next thing that made you unhappy so what's the difference?

Who doesn't like variety?

I’ll say it again, DFA the bum.

I definitely think Grayson could have started the year with the O's.

Aside from him, I'm happy Hall isn't up in the majors walking 5+ per 9. He still can't finish 4 innings. He has plenty of work to do in situations where it's not costing us MLB wins.

Westburg is on fire right now but wasn't really lighting it up in Bowie, this year or last year. He needs to sustain his production a bit longer to force his way up. Gunnar definitely had some issues coming into this year. I can't really argue with their current placement, but if their July is anything like June that may start to change. 

Stowers probably has the best argument on the merits to be playing in Baltimore right now but you also can't really argue with the production of Hays/Mullins/Santander.

Probably you if it has anything to do with Elias or the Orioles.

I bet Rougie could have a .380 OBP if he laid off shoulder high fastballs.  If I were pitching to him, I wouldn't throw him anything else.

Odor has grown on me.  His playing career is pretty much over.  He brings a lot of positive energy to the club.  I know there's no way to quantify it.  After he retires, I hope he returns to the O's as a coach.

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

[Oriole1940]

Odor seems to be getting more out of his God given talents than he was given.  Glad he will have some baseball things to think on the rest of his life.  Keep it up.

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

Odor continues to help the O's get wins.  He's not good enough to build around, but exactly the kind of place holder that we need as we become competitive.  When someone is ready to be better, he will be gone.  Until then, he has been a nice addition.

He's replacement level and he should have already been dropped to make room for the future.

He has a slash line of 197/256/390/646.  His OAA is -5.

You can argue he’s actually been worse than expected.  
 

He seems to be well liked by the players.  That’s about the best thing that can be said about him.

Baseball lives can be so funny.    End of next year, Gunnar will need 5 WAR to be where Rougned was at the end of his Age 22 season.

All 2.5 of those good seasons were in the track record when the Rangers guaranteed him his ~$50mm before 2017 Opening Day.

Skimming that story, I hadn't thought about Jason Kipnis in awhile.

Odor has made over 50 million dollars and has about 7 career WAR. His agent should be in the Hall of Fame.
