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.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      Possible? Sure. Yet, I'd be surprised by any trades in the divisions, unless it was considered a minor one.  I doubt Elias would want to see any of his prospects helping an AL East rival when he can get similar players elsewhere.

      Tiger Woods, of course, standing as an excellent example of a guy who was precociously skilled at a sport at a very young age (because his dad made him play) but never quite got there as a pro. There’s some merit to what you’re referencing here. I would absolutely buy that his lifelong exposure to baseball is a significant factor in his success at a young age. But I think that type of thing is far more applicable when evaluating youth or high school, maybe college level players. At lower levels and younger ages, I suspect extreme advantages in experience, practice time, and hands-on coaching can absolutely give a less talented kid a leg up. However, I think there’s a ceiling for how far a ho-hum kid can go on the back of force-fed baseball obsession — and I’m pretty sure that ceiling is a lot lower than “excellent hitter at AAA at age 20.“ I think you have to have the goods to reach that level, no matter how much baseball your daddy exposed you to as a kid. Ceiling-wise, as I’ve said, I do think he’s probably lower than some of these absolute tool demons like Gunnar and Witt and Acuna. I would not trade Gunnar for him, for example. But lots of these guys I’ve compared him to as 2Bs (Cano, Utley, Altuve, Pedroia, Kinsler) were not super tooled-up guys, and they’re all among the 25-50 most valuable players of the last 25 years or so. I don’t know that you have to be a Greek god to be a perennial All-Star type player, at least at that particular position.

      Why do you want to elevate the opposing pitcher's pitch count?

      I really hope that doesn't happen. Hyde said that the 6-man rotation was not going to be a permanent thing, nor should it with our schedule and our bullpen situation. The pen needs a long man. Suarez is a maybe to complete five innings. Suarez should be in the pen, not starting at Yankee Stadium.

      If a team is not getting walks, they aren't elevating the opponent pitcher's pitch count. They are also having quicker innings and taxing their own pitchers.
