Seriously?  I’m truly saying to trade him. 

However, if he can’t hit well as a catcher but everyone values him as the best catcher in the league and you can get a ton for him, trade him.  We didn’t draft him to be a DH and I doubt if he was a full time DH that he would hit close to a 1000 OPS anyway.

 

And run with a McCann/??? battery the rest of the season?

If we want to preserve Mayo's ROY eligibility for 2025, we can probably bring him up around August 15. He has to be on the roster less than 45 days (and the season ends on September 29). We also need to keep him under 130 at bats. 

The Nationals called up James Wood.  Screw the ROY eligibility.

Yeah, gaming the ROY is fools errand…look at this years AL betting favorites Carter, Langford, Holliday.  Not looking likely for any of those 3 top prospects.

Or, Cowser, but he still has a few months.

The thing is, he provides value defensively. And that’s right, just because he’s hit well as a DH doesn’t mean he’ll keep those numbers as a full time DH. 

As someone else said, likely preserving him for down the stretch. The idea that is would be a full time DH is ridiculous on its face. Either way, McCann needs to go and likely won’t, just a feeling.

Cowser’s odds are improving with the recent bad pitching of Gil.

Homering in three straight starts doesn't hurt,  either.

At some point we will refocus the conversation on MAYO in his thread.

Mayo looks pretty good at 3B on this play. Might be time for Urias to go.

There’s just no more words anymore. Someone in the FB group had AI comp his last 30 games to Gunnar’s last 30 games. Crazy stuff. We’re lucky.

Adley and Gunnar played at Norfolk when the league was more pitcher friendly.  I can't say whether they'd have topped .967, but they'd both have been considerably higher than their numbers shown here.  Adley had most of his AAA time in 2021 when the league had a .743 OPS.  Gunnar was in AAA in 2022 when the league OPS was .750.  The last two years, with the ABS system being tested, the league OPS has been .794 and .772.

It’s a good thing, but Mayo is screwing up the FO plans.  Holliday was supposed to be ahead of him and Westburg wasn’t supposed to be quite so good. Now Westy is pretty entrenched on the team. If you call up Mayo, then there is no place for Holliday.  They need Santander gone to free up some space.  They really should trade Mounty in the offseason. I am just not sure they can get enough.

No problem at all.   Mayo at 3B is not a problem.   One of Mayo, Westburg, or Holliday is going to have to get an outfielders glove and start breaking it in UNLESS the team wants to just plug all 3 into a 2B-3B rotation.
