Mayo made his 9th start of the year at 1B last night. Elias is in a bind. He wants Urias’ defense at 3B as a sub if we pinch hit for Mateo in the playoffs, but Mayo is looking like a star. 

Silliness. Just move Westburg there and put Mateo at second.

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

I think we should go with Mayo, but the situation would be her Westburg starts at 3B and Mateo at 2B. You pinch hit for Mateo in 3rd or 4th AB then Westburg has to slide over to 2B with Urias/Mayo at 3B?

If the playoff game is so close in the late innings(Mateo 3rd/4th AB) that you pinch hit for Mateo, do you want Mayo coming into the game?  Especially considering if it goes to extras with the bunt in play with the runner starting on 2nd. 

Urias doesn’t have any options to send down till September. Our only in house option would be to call up Holliday in September and the playoffs. Westburg could stay at 3B and Holliday come in for a pinch hit Mateo at 2B.

Mateo wouldn’t be starting in the playoffs.

No matter what?    Lol

Yeah, he could start against LHP.   

 

That above scenario is the only reason I could see us keeping Urias right now. Would we want to lose a close playoff game because we pinch hit for Mateo to tie a game/get the lead, but lose the game because Mayo isn’t the defender Urias is. 

We have options after we trade Urias,

1. Just simply have Holliday on the playoff roster. If Mateo is pinch hit for, then Holliday just comes in at 2B. 1-1 substitution keeping Westburg at 3B.

2. We make a small trade for a defensive wiz that can play 3B and stash him on our roster and make sure he’s playoff eligible. 

Either way, this is a likely scenario in the playoffs, but it’s fixable. Get Mayo up here.

I’m not ready to concede that Mayo needs to be lifted for defense.

I respect your opinion, but there is no other reason to have Urias over Mayo right now. 

I guess we could get creative and keep Urias till September by option Cowser to get Mayo up here. Or we could go with a short bullpen and rotate fresh arms in the 7th pen spot.

If you pinch hit for Mateo, you put Mayo at third and Westburg at second.  That's more than fine.

Elias likes his depth.  I think Mayo is up before the end of July.  Urias might even stay.

Asset management.  The team is doing fine w/o him.  He can be brought up when rosters expand allowing the team to hold on to Urias.  He will be up the next time there is an injury for a position player.

Coby struggling with throws at 3B tonight.  2 bad throws in first 3 inning.  Threw one in dirt that was picked.  Threw another one down the line that pulled 1B off the bag for E5.  I missed the first one (it was mentioned by the broadcaster).  On the E5 he was looking the runner back to second base, took an extra step and pulled it.

Thanks for the info. Tough for Mayo. As much as our offense is celebrated, you have to be elite defensively to crack our lineup.

I would not say the bar is set at elite.  He has to be major league average, or close.  It’s not clear that he is.

      2024 Prospect Power Rankings

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      The problem is when you look at the system behind the top 3, it has largely underperformed this year. Estrada, Etzel and maybe Forrett are the "breakout" guys when you look over things, but I'm honestly struggling to figure out who #4 will be. There is a HUGE dropoff after the first three. The high end Latin guys have not really done anything impressive outside of Estrada, and the next level of guy that you mentioned all have disappointed to an extent. Beavers, Horvath and Wagner (injured mostly) have all been disappointments. Povich and McDermott are kind of who they are with command. I'll be honest, Norby may be #4 right now.  I kept looking at the list and I wanted to move more guys down, but realized the guys below them are doing poorly too.  Hopefully this draft will bring some exciting new blood in because Elias and his scouts are swinging and missing a lot on college hitters since the 2021 draft, and that is making the system look weaker. Having three potential impact guys in the system makes the system still a good one, but they really need some guys to click in this second half. There is talent, just not guys putting up numbers to match.

      You can take prospects for Mountcastle as additional farm depth to trade from in exchange for pitching.  Or involve him in a 3 team trade.

      I hope not. I like a day in between Burnes and Rodriguez. I like having balance in case of a Povich stinker.

      I don’t see why this would be a trap series, we’re at home and we’re not coming off a winning series with a big rival like the Houston series.

      This is not good.  We need @Roy Firestone  to respond and reverse this.

      I think our mid level guys who we hoped would take that next step, Beavers, Bradfield, Horvath, have all disappointed to some degree.  I feel like there’s a lot of those guys and some potential high end Latin kids (Liranzo, Sosa, Estrada, E. Garcia, Morfe, etc.) that are just too far out to get too excited about yet.   There’s a big hole between Norfolk and Delmarva.    It’s kind of like the old days when you’d try to get excited about a Mac Horvath hot week or Trey Gibson striking guys out in low A.      The system could really use a 2nd half breakout from some Bowie and Aberdeen prospects.
