Bringing up Livan instead of Mayo is an absolute joke.

How many more days until another Mayo promotion keeps him under 45 service days and rookie eligible for 2025?

I believe Mayo earned 13 days of service, and thus could get 31 more without losing rookie status.  August 29 would be the earliest he could be called up and be short of 45 days even if he remains on the roster until the end of the season.  

I think hoping for a ROY award and thus an extra draft pick next year would be a poor reason to keep him down now, though.   If the service issue is the only reason to keep Mayo down, then just bring him up now and send him back when Mountcastle comes off the IL.  And, I think the ROY possibility is remote enough where it’s not worth playing that game.

I agree that it wasn't a good choice. I just find it amusing that when guys make "bad choices" and it works out folks are quiet.  Or when folks make bad choices at unimportant times. Some fo

He is at 13 days now so he has 31 days he can use.  I expect he is back up by the Rockies series and stays the rest of the way as the extra guy in September.

They're probably more influenced by the fact he didn't look like a major league 3b and he hit .059 with a 50% K rate.

They probably are adding him as the extra guy in September so he would be on the roster the rest of the way.  You bring him up now and have to send him back he has to stay down 10 days.  I expect they prefer the couple days now then the 10 days in September.

I have to say, Emmanuel Rivera was not impressive defensively at either 1B or 3B yesterday. If that’s what we’re going to get from him defensively, I’d rather let Mayo cut his teeth.

You might be right, but it seems a pretty big ask to throw a rookie into a pennant race like this and ask him to outperform even a AAAA type.

I had heard it was supposed to be Mayo, but I wonder if the trip to the play the Dodgers on the West Coast had anything to do with it?    

 

As much as I am a favor of bringing him up and playing him every day, I wonder if they are weary of playing 3 rookies in the middle of a pennant race isn’t best. I personally 1000% disagree because Mayo can’t be much worse than Rivera or Soto.

He didn’t just struggle he looked incompetent at every facet of the game. 
 

Since going down on 8/15 he’s 6 for 21 (2 XBH) 3 BB & 8 K (33%).  Not terrible, but not setting the world on fire.  
 

I think he has a little work to do at the plate and a lot of work to do in the field before they bring him back.  I don’t think he’s in the playoff plans.

Is he getting reps at first?

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Just Regular · Posted

      ZiPS being an inhuman thing incapable of recency bias is not much out on Holliday.    It only dings his 2025-2029 forecast WAR by about 3% today relative to what it was forecasting this spring. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/reassessing-the-future-for-this-seasons-disappointing-rookies/ Jackson Holliday’s numbers didn’t take a big hit for a few reasons. First, and most importantly, despite a really lousy debut in the majors, he played well enough in the minors — plus he’s so young and his résumé is so strong — that his small-sample struggles barely register. By reverse-o-fying Holliday’s major league woes into an untranslated minor league line and including it in his overall Triple-A production, ZiPS estimates that he would’ve had a 118 wRC+ in Triple-A this season, down from his actual mark of 142. A 20-year-old shortstop with a 118 wRC+ in Triple-A would still top everybody’s prospect list.

      Kjerstad should also get some reps in at first so he can be an option there as well, although now is probably not the time, best for him to DH for the rest of the season. He had 8 starts at first at AAA this season and 37 starts there between AA and AAA in 2023.

      In Grich’s case, I think his OBP skills weren’t appreciated at the time.  He was a .266 lifetime hitter in an era when that was maybe 10 points above average, but his .371 OBP was more like 45-50 points above average.  But OBP just wasn’t very valued at the time.

      We don’t have a current combo that is ideal. You have to go with the best possible grouping you have.

      Yep, we're in agreement on the 70 rWAR threshold.  A championship would help Manny's cause, though I'm not sure if that's in the cards for him in the near future.  He needs a big moment on a big stage, too....as silly as that sounds, I do believe it matters in the eyes of some voters. Not to derail, but Whitaker is a guy that belongs in the HoF, too.  I'm not sure why Grich never got serious consideration.

      I’ve always felt that 70 rWAR was the line between having to justify why someone shouldn’t be in the HOF versus justifying why they should.  In other words, if you’re over 70, there needs to be a reason for you NOT to be in.  There are 70 position players over 70 WAR, and the only ones not in are Bonds, Pujols (not yet eligible), Trout (not yet eligible), Rose, Bill Dahlen, Lou Whitaker, Raffy Palmeiro, Bobby Grich, and Carlos Beltran.  Really, only Dahlen, Whitaker and Grich have no obvious reason why they’re not in.  And I wouldn’t bet against Beltran getting in eventually.  He’s gotten  46% and 57% of the ballots his first two tries.
