Patience is a virtue. At least, that’s what they say. But sometimes you can wait too long, and opportunity slips away. The Texas Rangers and Rougned Odor is a perfect example.
Odor made his debut in 2014, showing some promise by putting up a .259/.297/.402 slash at only 20 years old. But more than the numbers, Rangers fans loved his attitude. He acted like he belonged. He brought an edge to a Rangers team that needed it. I loved the look in his eye when a game was close. There was an intensity, a fire that showed he had no fear of the moment.
