Kjerstad can play an OF corner just fine. You could always do a peak-value trade of Hays in the off-season and go with Cowser and Kjerstad in the corners. Or DH is an option if Santander goes. 

It would be ideal. However, Hays usually does nose drive in the 2nd half. 
 

Even if he finishes with a 300 BA, do other teams feel this the real Austin Hays? Also, stats/metrics seem to hate his defense.

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.

Actually, I don;t think that;s true. We only have two seasons to go by where he had two full seasons of 1st half and 2nd half and that's 2021 and 2022. In 2021 he hit better in the 2ndhalh, and last year he hit poorly in the 2nd half.

I think it has more to do with his health at the time vs the time of year. Hays has been a productive player when he's healthy.

Saying all that, Hays could be a guy who is going to get more expensive and with Cowser, they have an inhouse replacement who will be cheaper, so I could see him getting moved in the right deal. 

I still would like to see Mayo get some playing time in RF to see how he looks. He may end up too big to be out there and is going to be slow, but his arm certainly would be special out there.

3-for-3 and up to .314 batting average.     Last year Gunnar was 150 Bowie and 250 Norfolk plate appearances before Baltimore.    Mayo now around 250 Bowie plate appearances this year.

312/452/573 was the Gunnar Bowie line on the way to the conversation for #1 overall prospect.

The Frazier signing is really killing us wrt promoting our minor league players. By all rights Westburg should have been with the big league club out of Spring Training, and Mayo moved up to AAA a month ago. We're holding back young players that are above average to protect an old guy who is below average. It makes no sense.

It makes sense if you look at from the viewpoint of Elias' main goal this season as being to delay service clocks.

Now is it to save money?  Try and stagger the service time to maximize competitive window?

He said from the start that the team's goal this year wasn't to win the division.

I think he wants to stack the system so tight and so strong so that he has multiple shots at the ROY extra picks every year.  Starting to think we won’t see anyone until it doesn’t mess with their rookie eligibility next year.

Maybe Elias is worried that if all the hot prospects are promoted in the same season then down the road they’ll all hit free agency at the same time. He’s staggering their promotions as much as possible so as not to have the roster get nuked five or six years from now.

      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

      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.

      A good friend of mine coaches college baseball.  He’s studied and dedicated his career to understanding how humans move. Not all humans move the same way.  An incredible talent could potentially be taught to move against his body’s preference and fail.  New wave progressive coaches understand how various body types work and the nuance to teach/coach them effectively.

      I'm still trying to figure out how this guy is out of the majors for 7 years and somehow manages to pick up 2 MPH on his fastball, at the age of 34.  But hey, I'm not complaining.   Statcast loves him so far this year.  Statcast thought he was a little unlucky in his last stint in the majors, and unsurprisingly they think he's getting a little lucky now, but even accounting for his good luck he's still in great pitcher territory.

      2 "gutsy" starts in a row.  That's exactly what you want out of veterans to demonstrate to the young guys.
