The age thing really shows how special Gunnar is. What Mayo is doing at age 22 is still impressive. It's a valid note, but shouldn't be misconstrued or framed as a knock on Mayo. Adding runs scored per game is just as valid of a strategy as reducing runs allowed per game. Given the noted risk factors of pitching. probably more projectable too. Even if we're buying controllable arms...

We’ve heard strong rumors that he was days away from promotion when he got hurt. So, it seems likely he’ll be promoted as soon as the O’s think he’s back to full speed. Ignoring the rehab games, he’s at .375/.444/.708 since returning to the Tides. Seems pretty ready to me. It’s still not clear to me how much he’ll play once he’s up.

I think now is a good time to see if McDermott could fill one of our Bullpen spots. His starter numbers seem to suggest he could be a shutdown 1-2 IP guy. We could really use a guy that could come in and strike someone out. Cano ain't that guy right now. He has to figure out how to pitch in the top of the zone. Webb can get it sometimes. Columbe was starting to get it sometimes. But right now, Kimbrell is really the only one that can come in and strike someone out, and we see what is sandwiched between those Ks at times

Oh man, Wilson Betemit. We don't know the real reason he's been called up, probably never will. I think everyone assumes that it's defense because the bat appears ready and his defense has been often cited as his one drawback. -
This is such hyperbole. The Rangers starter ERA was 3.96 and bullpen ERA was 4.77 last season.

Is his defense good enough? Isn’t defense the reason he hasn’t been called up? And he’s a 3B, if I recall, and it’s a long way from Westburg to Wilson Betemit. -
So what is the real story on his defense? Because if he's playable at 3B, there is a spot for him to play. Mateo has been seeing his numbers slide down of late (notwithstanding the homer and triple this week). And while Urias had that surge, he seems to be trailing off again as well. Now, if he's just not playable at 3B defensively, that's a different story and we are in a position where he gets the Kjerstad/Stowers treatment with very limited playing time.
