From an org build perspective, Mayo seems:

1. Priced out of a trade because of his MOO upside and his system-match approach at the plate.

2. Destined for 1B because of the 3B options ahead of him (and other left side options behind him) and Mayo's comparative the glove/foot work isn't as strong as other options (even if his arm is).  And his infield experience will help that transition to 1B compared to other 1B potentials.  He could stick at 3B in other orgs, but I don't see it over the long haul in Baltimore without clearing the deck ahead of him.  

3. I had been an advocate of him in RF to maximize his arm previously, but of his experience in the dirt and the other competent RF options are performing. 

File this under "it's a good problem to have."

Which is why he should be playing there everyday. Get him the reps he needs to be adequate then he's the 1B next year.

I disagree with the font size.

I was at the game tonight and not only did he hit that mammoth blast, he made several nice defensive plays including one coming in with a strong off balance throw to first to get the runner.

Also has his 22nd double.  OPS is currently 997 and his BA is 299.

.999 now.  On the cusp of .300/1.000.   

We’ve always known Mayo had light tower power, but his on base streak is a really impressive accomplishment and suggests he’s taken his hitting to a new level.

Another benefit of having a top farm system is that someone like Mayo can develop at the proper pace and without much scrutiny, attention, or calls to bring him up prematurely. He's younger than Beavers, Fabian, Wagner, yet he's mashing the ball in AA and only us die hards seem to notice. Nice problems to have.

April .883 OPS

May .953

June 1.191

He’s now been on base 33 consecutive games.  

Really, the only wart is that his strikeout rate remains a bit high at 26%.   But that’s not awful for a slugger who is young for his level.   He’s only had 2 PA against pitchers younger than he is.

      Before the season, I was one in trade Mateo camp . He only played SS , but with Gunnar locking up SS , I was not sure about his value anymore. But when he started playing at Second and CF , he looked like he picking up at these positions.  I think maybe he should be their utility player now.

      I  regret to hear news on Wells and Means setbacks.  I like Means because Orioles drafted and developed him .  He will be free agent this fall , should Orioles tender him or let him walk ? As for Wells, he has the stuff but durability is his drawback . Every season Orioles slotted him in starting rotation, then he gets put on IL this season, 2023 and 2022 seasons also .  When Wells returns next season  , they should slot him in bullpen permanently  , JMO

      Yes and at one point was a higher rated prospect in their system than Aaron Judge. It took awhile with the bat but he was always an amazing athlete with the ability for defensive wizardry.

      I put this ridiculousness in the game recap, but I think it belongs here as well.  Using AI you can really make some crazy stuff. 😂 https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce

      A buddy of mine made this with his AI. I figured I’d just put this here. 😂   https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      I was listening to MLB Prospects podcast last week. They talked about Gillen, and mentioned a lot about how he may be the best high school hitter. However, it’s a tough call where he’ll go because of a weak arm. They said the arm was injured, a right labrum, and his arm strength is not back after two years. So, probably wasn’t going to be a SS anyway when said and done due to size, maybe a 2B/LF or CF profile due to the weak arm and 60 speed. He was projected to maybe become the top high school player in the draft as a sophomore, but injured the shoulder and had some other injuries that have held him back. It is going to be interesting to see where Elias goes with picks 22 and 32. I would like to see Gillen there, but I think he’ll be gone. Kellon Lindsey is interesting, and maybe Billy Amick, along with one of the previous college hitters you mentioned will sneak through. Lindsey is rising fast.
