I don’t know how long this Suarez wave will last, but it’s fun and a really good story to see a guy fight for one more chance and take advantage of it. -

You think that Mayo is better/more talented player than Cowser? Also, who’s J? -
While it certainly makes sense, I don’t see it happening. Santander has played almost every day even while his bat was running cold. Mullins and mountcastle as well. Hyde values veteran presence and hard to argue with the results so far this year. As for Mayo and Kjerstad, the only way I envision them seeing consistent playing time is if they let Santander walk this year, and trade one of RMC/Urias in the offseason. Highly unlikely Elias trades anyone from the lineup during the season -
I think it's silly to say he has nothing left to prove in AAA and equally silly to say he's not hurting the ML team right now. He is definitely hurting us. We're just good enough to overcome it right now. Holliday barely had a cup of coffee in AAA. He was only ok at the end of last year in AAA (.796 OPS) and had good stats when everyone on the team had over a 1.000 OPS against the lame White Sox team early this year. He also barely had a cup of coffee at 2B. Most importantly, he looks broken right now. There's every reason to put him into a position where he can decompress and find his legs again. While he's at it, he can figure out how not to drop his hands so he can compete at the top of the zone, and he can get more comfortable at 2b. I love the kid and believe that he'll be as great as they say, but I definitely believe he was rushed in relation to how Elias has really made sure the other guys are more ready before promoting them. Nobody else got the Holliday treatment, and I don't think they should. I would demote him and give Norby a shot, effective tomorrow.
