I've created a bit of a narrative about that family in my mind, I've seen it so many times. I won't get into it, but the wife is pretty well put together. -

Really like the guy as I said a month ago or so. I think he is going to be great for the O's and the city, -
How about the fact that Mayo has played in far more AAA games and has hit much better in AAA than Holliday, plus he’s older and more physically mature? Mayo: 421 PA, .944 OPS in AAA Holliday: 186 PA, .862 OPS in AAA It doesn’t seem like a stretch at all to argue that Mayo is more ready offensively. Defense is the question with Mayo. -

@Warehouse made some nice points and that's a pretty good synopsis. The only thing I would caution with this year's numbers is that he might be getting into the "bored" mode of being in AAA. It's hard doing that grind for as long as he has and see players comes and pass him by onto the majors while he was putting up good offensive numbers. I like Norby in the outfield better than second base, but he does get a little lazy out there and will will not field a ground ball cleanly out there either sometimes. He's working on hitting cut off men and just the nuances of playing effectively out there. He's getting better in my opinion. It's ashamed he doesn't have the reflexes and hands to play 3B effectively because being a OF/2B/3B would give him more value and make him a potential replacement for Urias. Right now, I don't see what he role would be with the Orioles unless Hays and McKenna go down. Then maybe they would consider him to come up. Other than that, it's clear they don't want him playing 2B in the big leagues in anything more than a game or two situation. His best bet is to go to a team like Oakland and find major league at bats. If the Orioles can ultimately pry one of those Oakland arms away, Norby and Stowers are guys that definitely should be hopeful they're in the trade.
