While perusing the list of prospects that might be available in this year’s draft and noticing that just about all of the good players are likely to be rostered, I started looking for good names.
This year, one name jumped out at me as being so bad, it might be good.
Gentleman, I present: Rougned Odor, 2B bean for the Rangers (and number ten on the Baseball America list for the Rangers). He is the nephew of Indians Double-A hitting coach, Rouglas Odor. (wow)
According to BA, scouts were initially scared by his smallish stature and speed. I’ll be the name didn’t help either.
I can’t read his scouting report without giggling. “Odor doesn’t have elite level tools, but . . . ”
Top that one boys. . .
