Where do you find all this stuff? 

Twitter a lot of the time but I had to Google search PARS to see if I could find out his methodology because he uses Patreon to show most of his list and I’m not a subscriber.

I don't know much about it, but Coby Mayo as the #8 prospects on his system is certainly interesting and shows how many national lists have been sleeping on him a bit.

Mayo looks like a top 30 / top 25 prospect to me.

It’s crazy that they can sleep on a guy this big and young who is actually a pretty decent athlete. I feel like he is treated as DH type.

That's probably part of the reason why.  I suspect a bigger part is that he just missed some big data filters to keep him hidden to some degree (less than 20 HR last year and sub-.800 OPS).  This year is his breakout though.  A lot of people are talking about him.  

Looking at Torkelson's AA stats (age 21), I like Mayo's better.  I'm excited to see what the next year holds for Mayo (and Cowser, Kjerstad, Grayson, Westburg, Ortiz, Povich, McDermott, Basallo, Jackson, Fabian, Beavers...).

Torkelson isn't exactly lighting it up.

Here's the difference I see in them:  I do think Mayo's stance/load helps him hit off-speed/breaking balls better than what Torkelson does.  Tork was promoted so fast he never had to adjust/learn to hit off-speed/breaking balls.

Let's try to keep individual conversations about players in their threads if possible. I don't want good conversations missed in a thread that will get buried in a few weeks most likely.

Feel free to duplicate your Mayo posts in his thread as I think there's some merits here for discussion.

    • I've been thinking about #2 a lot and wondering why this didn't come up at Elias' press conference.  I think the answer if you have to target a RH bat who isn't solely power-focused or chasing HR numbers, but who is otherwise a caliber of lefty-masher better than Mounty. Or, you force that hitter here via trade.
    • Last offseason with John (I am so poor) Angelos still in charge, along with the depth in the upper minor leagues it made sense to make a trade for someone like Burnes.  I don't think Elias should be looking at making a trade this offseason using any of our young talent.  It is time for Rubenstein to open the checkbook and land us a TOR starter and a big bat.  The days of having too many prospects is over, I want to see us have some solid depth options in AAA if we need it.
    • On #1: the question is whether all of Mayo, Kjerstad, Cowser, and Holliday have everyday roles or if are some platooned or held back in Norfolk or traded? If they all play everyday, there’s not really a meaty role to offer to a new bat. In the various post-mortems, this seems to be one of the biggest points of differences among posters.  Some want no logjams while others want one or more proven MOO professional hitters and don’t want to rely on Holliday or Mayo. My view is in the middle of the spectrum. I think at least one of Cowser or Mullins needs to sit vs. LHP, so we need a lefty masher capable of playing left field at Camden.  I think we may consider trading Mounty to make room for Mayo.
    • I find #8 to be an interesting one. On the one hand, McCann seems well-liked, he brings some toughness and veteran presence, and he actually had his best offensive season since 2020. At 35, you can probably have him for a 1 year deal if you want. And Basallo isn't really that close to coming up and catching just yet. He's a deep 2nd half kind of callup if you need him. And it's not like the free agent backup catcher market is much better than McCann. On the other hand, I have a sour taste in my mouth from game 1 where he couldn't make contact with men on base. Adley certainly didn't get any better under his wise tutelage. And maybe there are guys out there who surpass McCann defensively and bring a different wrinkle to the clubhouse. So I wouldn't be mad about a change. 
    • Actually 10 - I fat fingered the post button before I was ready.
    • This is my thought process regarding the pitching staff next season, ideally we resign Burnes but if not another TOR like Snell or Fried need to be signed this offseason.  Eflin GRod and Kremer are a really solid 2,3,4 the 5 spot is open to competition but realistically there will probably be some injuries or fatigue that require all of these guys contributing.
