How many games did Machado and Markakis play in AAA?

Not every hitter needs to serve a term at Harbor Park.

Now obviously if the folks in charge don't think it is a good idea than I'm fine with it.

But Mancini shouldn't be taking defensive reps away from an actual outfielder.

And manipulating service time shouldn't be an overriding concern.  (I still think the rules are going to be changed in the next CBA)

Agree.

I’ve been very consistent in my preference that our players spend time in AAA.    Hays in particular looked unready for the majors when he was called up in 2017 and he did nothing in 2018 to show he was ready.

I don't remember, were you against the Machado promotion?  And yes we disagree on the need for AAA.  Haven't seem any studies supporting either position.

Machado is and was different.  Not a fair comparison.

I always like to see hitters do well in every level before showing up in Baltimore.
