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 Os will be in the playoffs

      By Hallas · Posted

      Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning.  At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.

      SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.

      Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.

      Is it time to upgrade over Urias and McCann?

      By Hallas · Posted

      McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.

      I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it.

      Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.

      Jeff Tackett was also part of the single-worst baserunning display I've seen in my entire life.  No exaggeration.  I was at the game with a friend who was at her first baseball game ever, and she asked me what was going on.  I still have no idea. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1993/04/18/three-man-jam-at-third-costs-the-orioles-7-5/7eb4c3d6-545f-481a-89f4-9bc0036ad89a/
