I guess short term Urias/Mateo may be a platoon with Westburg flexing between 2B and 3B.

Of course in baseball anything can happen any night, but some of last night's wonder for me is if Holliday may have done more at the bottom of the lineup.   Kimbrel, McKenna and Cowser messed some stuff up late.

Savant this morning (25 batted ball minimums) sees Urias as one of just 6 MLB Bats out of 330 with a sub-100mph MaxEV on the season.

Hopefully one of the extra IF options can get it going.    Right now I trust more Mateo to upkeep his normal play level, but I admit in Urias' case I have some concern he's mostly washed.     Holliday performed like the worst bat in the league, but other 2B options haven't been far from it either.

His defense. By Fielding Bible's metric, been our best defensive player besides Adley over the past two seasons.  His versatility. He rated as an above average defender at 3B, 2B, and 1B.  H

We have a great situation.  But what we are seeing is essentially the pain of asset management.  Yes we have new owners with fat checkbooks.  We also have a GM who has been running an asset collection

You can go back to May 1 and his wRC+ since then is 155. If you go back to April 14, his wRC+ is still 134. He started the season 2-23 and everyone acted like he forgot not to hit, even thou

It was nice to see Ramon have a big day yesterday.  Has anyone noticed he has a .984 OPS in May?  Haha, I bet you didn’t!  He’s only gotten into 9 games this month, and had 21 PA.

He should be playing vs righties now that Mateo is getting back to his old self.

Could happen, but I think Mateo has earned himself a bit of rope.  If he has another week like the last one then I think you’ll see his PT cut back.  He did draw a nice walk last night, taking some close pitches he normally bites at when things are going badly for him.

People want to just DFA this dude every transaction, but the fact is that he’s our 3rd best defensive 3B in our org and his .673 OPS isn’t exactly killing the team. I think he’s perfect for this team as a bench player unless we upgrade with a vet LH bat that can play 3B/2B.

Nice to see Urias showing signs of life. OPS up to .684. OPS+ is now somehow 99. 

It’s almost as if the idea of judging a solid vet on a SSS of at bats is a foolish thing to do.

The Os need to make some trades and trading a few vets should be on the table.

Whether it be Urias or Mateo and OHearn or Hays (or any other number of combos), trading some vets should be considered.

We don’t see it a lot but trading ver bats to another contender for relief help could be a direction to go.

The upgrade could  be Norby, Holliday or even Mayo. Right now Hes in the perfect place for this team. (with Mateo Being IL).

And Hayes as well. Nice when the Vets (who take a lot of flak around here) step up and play well. Team as constructed is a nice mix of young up and coming players mixed with the vets, with even more prospects close. The Team is in a really good spot now.

The OH when a guy who has always been a decent player is a decent player:

TV gif. Hassan Johnson as Wee-Bey on The Wire has his mouth open in shock. He rubs his chin and then crosses his arms. He then turns to look over his shoulder.

I said this before the season, he’s a rich team’s utility infielder.

      Why not Chayce McDermott?

      The issue with Cano is the classic issue with sinkerballers. Hyde let him rest far too long. There's comprehensive data out there showing that sinkerballers really suffer from too much rest.  That said, Cano is a different pitcher this year. He's throwing his 4 seamer far more this year than last (11% vs. 3%) at the expense of his sinker (48% vs. 55%) and slider (11% vs. 14%).  Another thing, his control and command is off this year. That sinker just isn't living low enough. Same goes for his changeup.  He's nearly tripled his walk rate. Cano is really good when he isn't putting runners on base for free because those groundballs that he gets from his sinker aren't likely to do damage. Now they're doing damage.

      I like him very much and I’m very glad we have him. I just keep spelling it wrong. Thanks for the note. I really do like him, I just have few illusions about his Cy Young chances.

      Nice post-I would also add it's not really "conspiracy theory" stuff to entertain the thought that his plans all changed or were altered when it became apparent the Angelos family had to sell the team.   He built the wall in his own words to "attract FA pitching" and then the "take-off" quip.  Everything changed when decision to sell the team was made.  I truly believe that Elias's ST/LT plans were colored by the Angelos situation, we will a better idea of his complete plans with supportive ownership.

      If you believe that the playoffs/World Series is a crap shot, then you should be fine with the roster as is. I don't believe that. I believe that the better your high performing talent does in the post season against the other team's best talent, the better your odds of succeeding are. I don't believe for a second that Irvin is going to magically turn into a pitcher that I would have ANY confidence winning a postseason game on the road in NY or Philly. I don't have confidence that Craig Kimbrel will go into one of those environments against those caliber of lineups/opponents and save 2/3/4 games in a 7 game series. I don't believe it's a good bet to bet on him or Cano succeeding against Soto/Judge or Turner/Harper/Realmuto/Bohm or Ohtani/Betts/Freeman with the season on the line. I just don't. But I respect your opinion if you believe the opposite.

      Can we trade Urias/Mateo to get any decent RP help?  I am not sure but Mayo up means one of them needs to go.  Now both will need to go when Holliday comes up which i think should be in late summer.  what do i know?

      Agreed.  ME's MO is more akin to dollar cost averaging than pushing all of his chips in on a few investments.  A lot TBD.
