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.   

Theoretically. So far in the Elias era we tend to trot out elite defense all around the IF. Even Joey Ortiz. Part of that is because we’re young too. 

I’d love to see Mayo up, but we get mad when our bullpen gives up a run. Imagine errors.

Managerial malpractice that Mayo got no at-bats in a 9-3 game.

Yet he went almost a whole year with Frazier at 2B when Ortiz would have been a clear upgrade defensively. 

Mayo's throwing accuracy can be shaky at times, but so can Henderson. Now Henderson has improved a lot at the major league level with his accuracy, can Mayo? Don't know.

But I do know his bat his going to be elite.

I’ll take the growing pains/mistakes/errors all day to get Mayo in the lineup. We just gotta find a taker for Urias.  Mayo has well earned the promotion.

I agree, except for the 'gotta find a taker for Urias'.  We should NOT refuse to improve the team just because we can't unload Urias on someone.  Sure, I'd MUCH rather trade him and get some value for him.  But if no one wants him or isn't willing to give us anything for him, I'm not keeping Mayo in the minors just because I'm not willing to cut Urias.  Trade him IF we can, cut him if we must.  But let's get Mayo's bat in the lineup.

With the current roster, where do you play him? Id hate them to call this kid up and play him 2 times a week. 
 

ME needs to make some moves to open playing time for this guy.

      Elias: It's on me

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      I think that was very true for a lot of years. Too many, really. But I feel like things might have changed this year with the fanbase, as I think the last three and a half months really ripped the shine off of just about everyone and everything associated with the Orioles. I think the attendance at these playoff games and the intensity of the crowd (just based on what I saw on TV and comparing it to 2012 and 2014) reflected how fans felt about the product this year. Even the tone of this board feels different, and I am glad to see it. I don't think people are celebrating regular season win totals like they did in the past, or thinking not being swept in the regular season was ever cool when they got ousted in 3 by Texas when it counted, or having blind faith in Elias. If anything, I think the patience with Elias, Hyde, the coaches, and the players has finally run thin. Hopefully there are no more age excuses for Holliday when we have seen what the other young Jacksons in the majors look like, or Adley when we have seen what a much older and bigger Sal Perez is capable of, or any of our hitters who all came up so small in big moments. And after seeing how active Kansas City was last offseason even on the heels of a 106 loss team, there should be absolutely no excuses centered on small market or budgets. There will be injuries in 2025 like there are every year, but the players who are on the field and healthy need to step up.

      2024 Postseason Ticket Refund tracker

      Gotcha.    At times they do things that bother me. In 2014 they created different season plans pushing playoff tickets then they abandoned them. The moment they win some they act like they have been perennial champs.    They are running a business, I understand that. I get trying to leverage success on the field but they misjudge the market and get greedy. The WC prices were too high. The bottom line is they have not had enough consistent success in this market to act the way they do. This isn’t the early 90’s with no Ravens and Nationals.

      I disliked it for aesthetic reasons. Still do.

      I guess I'm just not as in tune with the subtext emanating from an individual I've never actually met as you are. I'm also not as good at analyzing a player's body language as the experts in the game threads.

      I was in favor of it. I am now in favor of a middle ground.

      They could add some special custom seating instead of simply bringing back what they had before.  Some sort of outfield luxury box deal.  Might be a novel addition to the park.

      Adley's health this season

      I'd love for you to prove this. You can't. The guy has been extremely forthcoming since he's been here. He's done everything he said he would do. Just because we got bounced from the playoffs doesn't make him a liar.
