I don't pretend to know what Profar is worth, but if we could land one of the Braves SP prospects:

Kolby Allard (LHP-AA-19): 18GS, 2.98 ERA, 1.34 WHIP
Mike Soroka (RHP-AA-19): 17GS, 2.37 ERA, 1.07 WHIP
Sean Newcomb (LHP-AAA-24): 11 GS, 2.97 ERA, 1.35 WHIP
Ian Anderson (RHP-A-19): 15 GS, 3.78, 1.46

What we don't need is a soon-to-be FA SP in Jaime Garcia (30-16GS, 4.55 ERA, 1.354 WHIP).

I agree, Profar is going to settle in and be pretty good.

Would you still be interested if the prospect was more like a Aaron Blair or Lucas Sims? Plus someone like Ricardo Sanchez or Patrick Weigel?

The only things I know about the Braves prospects is what I read on MLB about their Top30. 19 year olds having success at AA (without knowing their stadiums, etc) has to be a good thing, right? My guess is any package would likely be more like the ranked prospects you mention, nearing RuleV, than guys like I mentioned.

Claudio likely unavailable today. Kela could return as early as Thursday according to Banny.

Slowest non-fat, non-old position player in the league.

Lucroy trying for the triple. Who does he think he is, Bengie Molina?

Got the rbi though.

Lucroy looks like he should be about twice as fast as he is

Odor just doesn't even try. He had the entire left side of the infield open and still tried to yank one out. He's just not a team player

Starting pitching has been great and why I believe this team still has a chance if they can figure the damn bullpen out.

So much for Odor having figured it out and him leading the offense to the postseason. He just doesn't get it and needs to ride the pine if you ask me. At the very least, take him out of the middle of the he line up! I'd be starting Robinson in his place. Also...Napoli is smoking hot right now and Banny wants to sit him? Seems to me you'd want that bat in your line up when the rest of your bats suck ass right now. Just a thought.

Frustrating to watch every single hitter try and pull the ball when you've got a pitcher throwing everything outside.

The break was not good for Odor

Why would any pitcher throw this team strikes? They'll literally swing at anything.

That's just the way Bannister go.

For better or worse.

The off-season break?

That too....

He had been hitting "better" before the break

Here's a fun fact:

Rougned Odor has hit 6th or lower in the lineup 12 games. The Rangers are 8-4 in those 12 games.

Not that it would have mattered, but has Lucroy EVER caught a ball off the bounce on a play at the plate?!?

So many missed hangers....bats are in a bad bad way right now

A free swinging team that plays bad defense doesn't excite you guys for a deep postseason run?

You forgot the sh*tty bullpen too. And questionable managing. But I can't wait for JD to do some wheeling and dealing instead of getting some prospects.

Nice ****ing play Odor

WTF??

A nice head up his ass play by Rougie there. AB was chewing whole sale ass when they got to the mound.

Banister needs to make a point and bench his ass. That's inexcusable.

WTF was he turning his head to look at?

He wasn't paying attention to the runner and didn't think he was going to attempt 2nd....and of course it cost them a run.

He needs to be sent to AAA.

I picked a ****ing great time to turn on the game

This team just sucks

In other news, looks like Carlos Correa just injured his wrist again.

Right there with you. Put the little ones to bed and turned it on just in time to see the HR and wtf Odor play

He plays 2nd base. Doesn't matter if the runner was holding at first, he's still going to get a throw at the end of the play. Effing moron

Props to Cash. Scoring one run against this O's pitching staff is craptastic.

Don't worry, he's totally going to redeem himself by swinging at some balls in the dirt and adding another K to his ledger...

Is it football season yet?

Rangers writers tweeting that JD will not necessarily use win/loss record as deciding factor on buy/sale/hold, but how the team is playing together.
