1. Mayo’s defense at 3B has improved. Not saying it’s even average but maybe. 2. Mullins slumps are scary and even if he rebounds he’s not here long term. 3. Mateo (I know! I know!) is impersonating a ML hitter, with GG caliber defense and game changing speed.
-
Right. Well, playing 1-2 games a week in CF just makes him more versatile but yeah, it would be odd if the plan was to call him up soon to play 2B. Which makes me think the plan isn’t set in stone one way or the other. They just want as many options as possible.
-
@Roy Firestone said he was told that Mayo was within days of a call up. Not sure how solid that is but it begs the question, does Mayo get called up (I know he’s injured) before Holliday and is it to play 3B. Lots of moving parts and I think the situation is fluid. A year from now Mayo could be traded, the 3B, the 1B, the RF, or all three.
-
He was between 95 and 96 the other night. Hopefully, it has something to do with warming up differently and he can do 96-98 in a one inning role eventually. He needs to get a few tips from his brother.
-
I think they can’t be that sure at this point. If Bradfield becomes that good then that would be a good problem to have.
-
I’m skeptical too but I think the main reason for doing this is two fold. First, they may think that Mayo can handle 3B, thereby pushing Westburg to 2B, and second, there is no clear successor/replacement for Mullins in CF.
-
He’d keep progressing through the minors and hopefully force us to ask “Should we trade Holliday or Bradfield or figure a way to keep both?
-
Even if Mullins picks it up, and I hope he does, it still makes sense longer term IF they think Mayo is the future 3B.
-
Yeah, based on 41 K and 137 PA, I come up with 29.9%.
-
Jorge looks good when he takes the outside fastball to RF. I almost don’t want to see him pull any home runs. He’s playing high level defense at 2B right now too. He’s never been able to maintain a good approach at the plate. Will this be the year?
-
That seems like a pretty good reason.
-
I got this. This is DirtyBird.
-
Yeah, it’s too early. There are some good signs with the extra base hits. Averages and OPS can take big swings either way this early in the season.
-
What are the odds? They’re certainly greater than 0%. I’d go 50% that he is a regular at some point.

Watched a clip from way back on The Statler Brothers show. Good stuff. I knew you did impressions but I loved the premise you came up with. LOL
