I still don't think some people realize how special Mayo is going to be. He's the impact bat this Orioles lineup needs. He was a bit better the rest of the week at 3B and 1B then he was in the first t

Yeah, I mean the guy is literally bashing down the door to play in the MLB. He's an impact power bat that needs to be playing everyday in the big leagues between 3B/1B/DH. Mateo will just need to go back to being a bench guy and Urias may need to go unless the Orioles decide to part ways with Hays or send Cowser down, which would be tough now that he started to hit again.

I would imagine this close to the All-Star break they may just keep him down there at least until then. If the Orioles keep winning though, they could decide to just Gunnar him by bringing him up on 31 August and keeping RoY chances but making him playoff eligible. 

But that point AAA pitchers may have stopped pitching to him.

I feel bad for him because everyone knows he belongs in the majors.

As many have alluded to, it is simply incredible that Ramon Urias is here and getting AB's while Mayo destroys AAA.  Defense is a factor that often gets overlooked, especially when looking at such amazing stats.  However, based on Elias' comments it seems the O's have grown comfortable enough with Mayo that they expect him to at least be about average there.  What's the holdup?

From what i can remember.

When Elias says something about a top prospect like "he is very close to ready" or  "he will get a chance real soon at this rate"  I think that typically means a promotion is coming within a couple of weeks at most.

I think Mayo could be up before the ASB.    Guess we will see.

      Kjerstad and Mayo.......

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I rarely go wow, but WOW!  That's a pretty hard no way. I've made myself known that I'm not trading Mayo and I'm certainly not trading him for a reliever and I'm certainly not adding in Kjerstad. The real question is would we trade Kjerstad for Miller straight up. That would be an interesting thought. Miller could absolutely blow out his arm at any point and Kjerstad is going to be in a middle of a major league lineup for a long time.  I'd have to think about that one long and hard especially knowing we will have Bautista back next year and McDermott could be an impact reliever if given a chance too.

      I am not sold on Holliday yet. He will need to prove it. He is still very young and may not give us the best chance to win right now. He could be the extra guy in September.

      Craig Kimbrel 2024

      By OsFanInOhio · Posted

      This. 1) let Kimbrel absorb the larger lead saves (tho this doesn’t help either of their save stats / all star arguments). 2) you use them to avoid having to use either one back to back if possible, which is nice given Bautista is coming off an injury and kimbrels age / history of back to backs recently. 3) we would likely have to go to the free agent market anyway to look for a high k guy anyway if we are contenders again given our current desire for another back end arm. Why not keep the guy who we’ve seen perform well for us (mostly).    the one downside is he may not want to be in a situation where he isn’t getting all the save opportunities given where his is in his career and his race up the saves leaderboard list with Jansen

      I'm not saying Bradfield is untouchable in any way, but I want to see him in AA before getting too down on him. Lots of guys playing well in the majors right now for the Orioles had poor or below average numbers in Aberdeen.  I think Beavers with maybe a guy like Armbruster or Strowd could potentially get it done. Scott is a rental so Elias is not going to give up to much, but I do think Scott would look very good in this pen and when Coulombe comes back, assuming he looks like the same guy, now we have a couple weapons late in the game.

      Yeah agreed, so I’m basically thinking the same as what you said in your post before mine. Was just crazy to think about how you’d actually structure a lineup that deep. But I think Mullins playing instead of Mountcastle against RHP when you want the extra OF defense would also make sense. It’s a very flexible lineup to move pieces around and match up based on the opposing pitcher, the Orioles SP (Mullins for the fly ball heavy Povich/Suarez? Mateo/Urias for GB heavy Burnes?) and stadium. They have been playing Kjerstad in LF in OPACY some, but Mullins has been much better of late and they’re not going to go to 4th OF level work for him. It makes sense for Mullins’ time to be more at home and less when on the road in parks with friendly corner OF dimensions. But depending on Kjerstad and Mayo’s defense and bats at the MLB level, that could be the optimal lineup with them at LF/3B even at home.

      Nolan Hoffman has 15 straight scoreless IP in AAA. What do we make of him?

      By wildcard · Posted

      Nice that he is on a streak but he has to do a lot more to be protected this off season.  His 1.624 WHIP needs to go down substantially.
