Tehran's option got declined

I would he really surprise if Odorizzi does not accept the QO if offered. 

[Vlad27Trout27]

Danny Salazar was released or elected free agency....or what ever he's a free agent

he had his best years with Callway, would not mind taking a flier on him, either as a starter or in the Bp.

The QO is difficult for guys like Odorizzi. It’s going to cut into his value, but one year at his age isn’t ideal either. He may not be able to cash in next season if he has a down year.

Ok thanks, that would make sense. I saw somewhere that the Angels had until 2pm to decide on Calhoun’s option.

Eric Thames had his option declined - he’d be an interesting Bour/Calhoun replacement backing up 1B, LF, RF, DH.

@Inside Pitch and i knew a guy on the old grandstand sports boards (Mark478) who wondered aloud one time if eric thames was related to him. it seems our friend mark, who was white, came from a family (the thames family) that once owned slaves, and he was wondering if somehow eric thames was a decendant from one of his family's slaves.

That was actually one of Mark478, brightest moments...... closely followed by his belief that the Texas Rangers were the 1994 AL West Champions.   Also ST stats!

This is shocking to me. They couldn't find a trade partner for him?

He is the antithesis of the launch angle era pitchers (money pitch is his sinker), and his velocity is dropping at Jered Weaver levels from mid 90s to only touching 90..   Not a real shock Atlanta dropped him or that they couldn't find a taker.

He's pitched well but he's someone a lot of teams would bet against because the predictive data is scary.

I wonder how many Angels’ draft picks go elsewhere this year?

What would you think of Danny Salazar as the 3rd pitcher acquired this off season?  He was non tendered, was highly ranked a few years back and he has ties to Calloway.

[T.G.]

I think Odorizzi could bee this year's Dallas Keuchel because of the draft pick compensation attached to him.

I think shoulder surgeries are always a problem.

Nope.

He lost all of his velo after his arm issues and surgeries. He would be well behind Heaney and Canning on the depth chart.
