I was just looking at Mayo's career minor league stats and see that in 527 at bats he's now driven in 100 runs. Pretty impressive. And to top that, he's scored 112 runs!

Plus Mayo has 62 extra base hits in those 527 at bats.

What a bomb.  I think he is going to go off next year and make a big name for himself.  He’s put up a good season with a bunch of nagging injuries.

Mayo’s heated up the last two weeks or so.  .364/.429/.614 since August 24 over 12 games.

Orioles need to trade an outfielder to make room for Mayo. Maybe they can get stating pitching in return.

I don't think making room for Mayo is going to be a real issue until 2024. Next year's issue is Cowser, hopefully.

Mayo won’t be as affected by the wall. He’s the type of RH 1B/DH bat we need. One that can hit it over the wall.

Why would you put somebody with Mayo's arm strength at 1B or DH? He should stick at 3rd base or RF and hit a lot of HRs for somebody. Hopefully it's us.

All things equal you want to put him in a position that takes advantage of his arm.   However, you don't get that advantage if he's below average at those spots otherwise.   If he's a terrible 3B as far as range or hands or a terrible RF as far as range and judging fly balls, why would you put him there just because he has a great arm?

I’ve seen him twice this season.  At worst, he’s adequate at 3B.  The arm is as advertised.  Makes the routine play.  I did see him make one matador play on a real hard smash at his feet.  Didn’t see any plays that tested his range or ability to leave his feet.

Ok. We also have to see where Henderson winds up.   If it's 3B then Mayo is either trade bait or needs to find a position in RF or 1B.   Mayo looked pretty comfortable in RF from what I saw but, of course, I didn't see him have to go back or make any tough plays.   If he's got average speed he's probably an asset in RF if he's got at least average instincts out there.

Akron announcers need to put some respect on that HR. 

[Sports Guy]

Definitely has an awesome arm at third

It’s not a playoff game.  But it’s an important game in the last week of a playoff race.
