Simply put, the O's aren't going to bail on Urias this early in the year. No question he has hit terribly, in limited playing time (11 starts in 28 games). His track record says he is a much better hitter than this, with a career 103 OPS+, 98 last year. So, the O's will give him every opportunity to get back on track. These things aren't decided based on 47 PA. As to Mayo, he has been less error prone as the season has progressed, and now has a .930 fielding percentage at 3B, about where he was at Norfolk last year (.925). To be clear, .930 ranks Mayo 12th among 19 AAA starting 3B, so not very good. Fielding percentage only tells you a limited amount, so I have to defer to the Orioles' opinion of how his defense looks overall. Put it this way, if the O's thought Mayo was average or better, he'd be up in the majors now. -
Neither are on the 40. Both would add risk to the floor. Both have a higher ceiling with a good chance of not reaching it in the 2024 season. Both could surpass Urias this year though, assuming we're committed to their MLB PAs. In any case, I don't think the NYY series is the right timing. I like the long-term thought, especially for Mayo, but think we're not there yet. -

As much as I love Holliday and believe in the young man's talents. I don't see him coming back to the bigs until after the AS break at the earliest. They need to give him at least 2 months to get in a grove and work on the things that they told him to work on. And most of all, get some meaningful experience at AAA. If he's killing it at AAA in July/August and Urias is hitting under .200 still, that's when you will most likely see a move. -

Just a slight correction - Mayo is 22. He was born in '01. But I agree with your overall point. Nothing is broken right now, why are we trying to invent things to fix. -
McKenna’s missed catch was 3.9 seconds, 53 feet (need to look on Toro’s statcast page in batter’s perspective fielding to see it). It was also too much movement toward first base to get extra credit for “going back”. -
Sorry, had to dig this thread up since we tried the 'BBQ' last night. $40 later, I'll pass (even at $10 it's a pass). There are way better choices and it seems everyone knows from such a short line at Boogs.
