Holy  _______ , Tony!!  Are you moving him to #2 in your Power Rankings?

You need more than upside to get ranked that high and I also meant as a hitter. Mayo still has high volatility because of the level he's at but I just like what's he's done so far and that swing!

Just came across Mayo’s Baseball Factory numbers from 2020.  His 60 yard dash was 6.81, which grades out as a 60 and is considered outstanding.   I had no idea he had that kind of speed.  Also, he thr

He is definitely trending up. The more I've watched him at Delmarva the more I really think he may be something special. I just really like his ABs and for young inexperienced hitter, he really doesn'

Have yourself a game young man. Walks in his next at bat so what does he do? He steals 2nd and 3rd base!

I think half a season in Aberdeen and Bowie would be pretty aggressive for next year. 

You'd think he has to start in Aberdeen next year, right?  If Mayo has a similar performance / trajectory to Kyle Stowers this year that would put him in AAA a year from now. I can see the same aggressive path for Cowser and perhaps Norby as well, should their production remain at a high level. That timeline is consistent with our current minor league studs all graduating to the big leagues between April 2022 and the middle of 2023, which I believe has been Elias' plan all along.

I always try not to get too far ahead of myself when prognosticating how quickly a prospect might move.   I think Mayo clearly starts in Aberdeen next year.   If he puts up numbers from the jump that resemble his Delmarva numbers now, he could get to Bowie very quickly (6-8 weeks).    But that’s a huge assumption.    Let’s just see how it plays out.   I’m thrilled with what Mayo’s done in 2021.

Interesting. One month in Delmarva, and six weeks in the FCL and you think he is ready for Aberdeen at 19? That would be pretty aggressive, but I can see your thought there. I think Elias/Blood are more conservative, maybe start in Delmarva and move up to Aberdeen in June. They seem to want a certain number of at bats with certain skills achieved. They have development plans for every player.

I just hope he works hard on his flexibility, strength and explosiveness. I think next year he could really take off if he improves his body.

Well, he’ll be 20 all next season, not 19.   I guess you are right that they could start him at Delmarva,  but he’s looked awfully good there this year and looks like he’d be ready for more of a challenge.   As to his body, I’ll defer to you on that topic.

What would the reasoning be to start him in Delmarva? I agree its possible but I don't think its justifiable.

Not that I'd agree with it, but it could be they'd want to see him get off to a hot start before promoting him and have that carry to the next level.  

I agree that it wouldn't really be justifiable, either.

Yes because the OPS approaching 1000 so far isn't hot enough!

I think the rationale would be that 27 games at Delmarva isn’t enough of a sample size to conclude that he’s ready for the next level.

That is one terrible rationale when the player is dominating the level over a sample size that while small, isn't nothing either.  Its not like he has only played 10 games or something.

Yep, exactly.  It would be weak, but it's the only thing I could come up with.

If that's the rationale, I agree with SG, it would be very weak.  He's handled Delmarva competition just as well as he had in the FCL.  To Mayo, it appears that there's no difference between the levels as of yet.  

It is 200 plate appearances of .995 OPS, all levels combined.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      There’s a good chance McCann starts game one with Burnes. Big roster. We can always move Adley from DH to C late in the game. Lose the DH, but have a big enough bench to just pinch hit and double switch to hide the pitcher’s spot coming up.  So really we’d only be sacrificing 2 ABs from O’Hearn/Mounty/Kjerstad but we get Burnes throwing to his boy every pitch.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      We would have lost last night regardless due to zero runs scored by the offense. It is worrisome that Cano looked awful in back to back games. After talk about arm soreness. He has been the one reliable guy. Once we fell behind I don't really care how bad Bowman and Baker are. Hopefully they don't even make the roster for the playoffs.

      I do worry about the McCann start although he has been hitting lately, so maybe you can justify it.

      It’s the 7th inning with Burnes or Eflin on the bump. A tough lefty is coming up. Who you bringing in?  Perez or Coloumbe?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.

      Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups.
