Odor, our No. 48 prospect, got off to a slow start at Double-A this year, but he had recently put together a nine-game hitting streak, during which he hit .421/.450/.737 with five extra-base hits, three home runs and two steals. That has boosted his season totals to .279/.314/.450 with six homers and six swipes in 32 games. Though he's young, Odor has hit a robust .293/.336/.490 with 12 homers and 11 steals in 263 career at-bats at Double-A including last season. He's also shown an impressive contact rate, though he also doesn't draw many walks (think Starlin Castro).
Despite his inexperience, Odor is worth an immediate pickup in AL-only leagues and most keeper leagues, and even deserves a flier in deep mixed leagues. Just keep in mind that the 2B situation in Arlington could get murky once Jurickson Profar (shoulder) returns, which is expected to be sometime in June.
