It's Time to Promote Trey Mancini

[Babypowder]

Well in fairness to Weiters, he was very valuable before his injury and obviously it's going to take some time for him to get back to form.

I guess we will find out on Mancini

And if Wieters was a first baseman, he has zippy value. If Mancini ends up with Wieters offensive profile he is not even a major leaguer.

Well, maybe not a good one, but there have been first basemen with relatively long careers and batting numbers like Wieters' career 100 OPS+:

Move Trey to AAA Norfolk now.

[sportsfan8703]

By my math he just took over the combined MILB lead in total bases with that HR today. Putting him at 239 TB on the year. Adam Duvall has 236 between two AAA teams. Of course Duvall has 26 Hr's in the PCL and is 26. Just shows how impressive Mancini has been this year. He's putting up big numbers by hitting doubles not just HR's in hitter's ball parks.

[Camden_yardbird]

I, unknowingly, saw Trey's first game in AA up in Portland earlier this year. He did not looked fazed hitting against Justin Masterson, who was AA on read and featured a wicked slider that night.

He was just released by the Red Sox wasn't he?

Other notable player(prospects) stats in the Eastern League this year:

G PA R H 2b 3b HR RBI BB K

Conforto 45 173 21 54 12 3 5 26 23 35 .312/.396/.503

Promoted to MLB. Ranked as #19 prospect in MILB. 22 yrs old 1st rd pick 2014

A. Judge 63 250 36 71 16 3 12 44 24 70 .284/.350/.516

#20 prospect. The guy NYY was unable to move at the trade deadline. 23 yrs old. 1st rd pick 2013.

Let's get simpler.

Josh Bell (#37,23 in 3 days) 368 AB's 806 OPS

Eric Jagielo. Manicini's college teammate that was drafted by NYY in rd 1. 23 yrs old. .842 OPS

C.Walker 2014 season. 366 AB's .884 OPS @age 23

Mancini is 23 w/226 AB's .970 OPS. I think the "prospect" lists are slow to catch up on this guy. We'll see him on September 1st. As of now we're only set to see 2 more LH starters the rest of the month. D.Duffy in the KC series. Hamels in the Texas series. It's hard to pick a player he should go for, as I doubt we cut bait with Reimold at this point. But we could go without Flaherty. He's only had 3 AB's this month anyway.

[hoosiers]

There was a point in recent days where Mancini had caught up to Judge in the BB/K ratio - something in the 1:3 range - with the recent BBs taken by Mancini. Judge was 24/70 in AA while, Mancini - who a couple days ago was at the same ratio, but with half the BBs and Ks at 12/35 is now 13/36.

Meanwhile, Judge has been awful in AAA the last 10 games with a .114 average and 19 Ks in 35 PAs with 5 BBs.

[sportsfan8703]

Article today in milb.com in which Mancini credits a new stance with some of his improvement.

http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20150811&content_id=142399916&fext=.jsp&vkey=news_milb&sid=milb

This is why mid season prospect lists on like Baseball America are meaningless. There are way too many players in baseball to see them all. Mancini as our #12 prospect. That's laughable.

[MurphDogg]

I would be very surprised if we saw him on September 1st. He doesn't need to be added to the 40-man roster this offseason, so there is no reason to have him take up a spot. DD values roster flexibility and I fully expect him to find a hidden gem with that extra roster spot this offseason. No reason to bring him up for 10 plate appearances at the cost of that flexibility.

Roch says there may be some roster changes by tomorrow. Trey Mancini is the guy I want to see called up. I'd like to see if his bat can boost the O's. Heaven knows they need something.

Bring him up. Play him every day.

If we need to DL Wieters I would like to see 3 changes, if not I would like to see 2 changes:

DL Wieters = Clevenger

DFA Reimold = Mancini

DFA Lough = Urrieta

If no DL of Wieters:

DFA Reimold = Mancini

DFA Lough = Clevenger

Put Clevenger in as the DH and let Mancini play 1B.

It's time, none of Parades, Lough, Reimold have shown anything for a really long time. If we stink down the stretch at least stink down the stretch with guys that can help (or find out if they can help) next year.

One move will probably be Lake optioned to the minors. Buck is only playing him versus lefties and that may not hold a spot at this point.
