Seems like a steal for the Rangers

 

He still has a year at league min then his 3 arb years

 

But overall yeah likely still a very good deal for them

Well there's a comp for a Travis extension. Funny they've put up almost the exact same value in their careers.

 

Only Odor needed 1519 ABs to do what Travis has done in 670 ABs lol.

How did he sign for so cheap, considering he could be a 25-30 homers/year guy?

 

Well he's kind of a butcher and he doesn't get on base at all. If he's not hitting the ball out of the ballpark he's almost useless. But I guess if he remains excellent at hitting fastballs Texas doesn't care. And apparently he's a cult hero for punching Jose Bautista. He will always have a special place in the hearts of Rangers fans whose hearts are use to being stomped on.

Cards bought out four arbitration years and got Carpenter for 6 years/$52M and he was coming off a 6.9 fWAR season (Kipnis got almost exactly the same). If he keeps up his current pace he's likely only going to make $20M before through to his free agency year. I know Odor is young but I don't even put him near the top 10 2B's yet, no way I make this a priority signing.

Yeah, the contract is fine but I don't really think Texas should have prioritized it. Could swing bad like Andrus. Odor (apparently) is a s*** defender, and we know he's absolutely a hacker extraordinaire -- sharp decline / bad volatile year potential.

 

Sick Aaron Dell add yesterday by the way bro

Why wrong? Odor isn't good at much but hitting bombs.

 

So what does this half to do with the kid signing guaranteed money?

Mark Lowe cut by the Tigers--$11M flushed down the can. Boy, did he fall off after leaving Toronto...

 

I'd take him on a minor league deal.

There is a chance he just needs to adjust to his lower velocity or he's total garbage now.

Jonn stated he thinks odor is a one trick pony, I tend to agree, and isn't worth this kind of extension so early in his career. Unless, you were saying "wrong" with reference to the 2nd part of his statement. It was 5am Saturday night and completely understandable if you was shittered.

Mark Lowe turned 3 decent months with Seattle into a shot at a ring with the Jays (where he was nothing special) and then $11m.

 

He is what all journeyman relievers should aspire to.

^ Very good idea. At this point in his career, he appears to have a very low chance of having anything more than a low impact as a position player.

 

As a high school LHP he apparently showed a lot of upside, it's worthwhile to see if he's more useful on the mound.
