There is no logical reason for him to have another MiL at bat unless he still has any effects from the injury he had…and if he does, there are zero signs that’s the case. -
I just hope that Elias doesn't freak out and give up some real talent. GM should never listen to fans. I know we need pitching but at what cost? -
If you were to strip Barry Bonds of all 7 of his MVP seasons…… He would still have 440 HR & 359 SB…. Which no one else in the game has ever done. -
Alomar was a wonder at second and excellent in clutch situations. He was their most feared hitter at the end of a game. -
He is going to have a long and solid big league career. Not a super star, but one who puts together 4-5 WAR seasons over 10 years in the show. Exactly what every contending team needs to fill in behind the stars. A Vern Stephens, George Kell, Gil Macdougald or Carl Furillo kind of player. -
That was a 1-2, middle-middle curveball that he did absolutely mash. Mayo is one of the smartest hitters, but major league pitchers are typically more unconventional in their pitch selections down in counts and of course make less mistakes. I have zero doubts that Mayo can hit curveballs if they're mistakes, it just the pitch group that he struggles with more than others, which is not uncommon. Lots of major league hitters have poor stats against breaking balls or offspeed. I didn't mean to suggest Mayo has a "hole" with off speed, just that it's what major league pitchers will attack him with initially to see how he reacts. I do know if they make a mistake with a fastball he's going to do a lot of damage. Either way, he's ready to be playing in the major leagues now. -
