So I’ve spent a bunch of time of Suarez’ BBref page and it’s fascinating.  17 seasons of baseball all over the world in an a ton of leagues (APPY, NYPL, MIDW, GULF, FLOR, VEWL, SOUL, TL, NL, PCL, CALL

I don’t think we really know how bad his defense is at 3B, or if it’s really bad at all.  We just have worries based on the stats we can see.   At least a few people who watch him play a lot say he’s not as bad as some people think.  So, we’ll see.

It's rare when anyone mentions Jackson Holiday's defense. He has 13 errors so far this year even with his time out. Thats more errors than Mayo. I've seen Coby make some electric plays at 3b, and most of his errors at 3b are bad throws. I liken Coby Mayo to a Troy Glaus type player. Glaus was a slightly better defender, but Coby could  outperform  offensively. I just hope they dont do something foolish like trade him before he gets his shot in Baltimore.

Trying to point to Mayo's error total again?

Mayo has 14 errors.  Ten at third and four at first.

I'm not big on the new math but I'm pretty confident that 14 is still more than 13.

I would be quite happy to play mayo at first once Mountcastle is traded, because third base is so much more difficult, requires much more range much more accurate, throwing, etc. plus we already have not one but two stellar third basemen.

But no, I don’t want him at third unless he’s as good as the guys we have, and no one claims that he is

Sorry I should have clarified, he's been terrible for a while now, and had a very terrible outing against Miami. He's approaching well done.

He’s been an overall plus SP and RP so far this year. A move to the pen is definitely needed!

The year that Mark Trumbo had 47 home runs, he had -23.4 DWAR on Fangraphs.

His total WAR was only 2.0 which is astonishing for a guy who has 47 home runs.

He might be the most frustrating player I have ever watched.

We don’t want to risk the same thing with anybody else.

Mayo somehow made a 3 base error at 1B earlier this week I guess. Be careful what you wish for, defense at 1B matters too.

Albert Suarez 2024 feels in some ways like Tyler Wells 2023.

Is his tank empty?     Can he revive in a smaller role?

I think today it is fairly solid he isn't the Game 3 candidate even Dean Kremer or Cade Povich are.

Hopefully it was just one bad night - guys will have them.

Jesus Montero?

He put up an 870 OPS in AAA while being 6.9 years younger.

Can't miss guys miss in the majors.  Not saying it is going to happen but "come on" don't act like it isn't a thing.

I never said it doesn't happen. But I'll bet the vast majority of guys who did what Mayo did at his age or younger turn out to be pretty great MLB players.

Jesus Montero is probably Mayo's 10th percentile outcome at worst.

I don't think Mayo's biggest detractors think he's Mark Trumbo bad with the glove. He could be -5 or -10 DRS at third base and be a 3-4 win player if the bat turns out as expected.

I don't think anyone expects him to be age 30 Trumbo bad.  I also don't think anyone expects him to hit 47 homeruns.

As for what he's done?  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can't translate AAA stats into ML performance right now. 

He's probably an above average hitter and a below average fielder.  How much of each is anyone's guess.

I'm not expecting three to four win seasons on the regular.

Samuel Basallo was born about 15 years after Jesus Montero, which in baseball technology terms covers a good bit of territory.     We can be pretty sure SIGBOT has done what it can to help Basallo in ways it wasn't feasible to develop Montero.

Brian Cashman gave a clue about Montero trading him away....we'll see how Elias behaves this week.

I knew YOU had math skills. I was referring to Mayo predominantly playing 3b.

      I am guessing it was just a matter of it being a big ask of Kjerstad to hit vs a LHP when he is just coming back from a seriously bad concussion and he only has 11 career AB's vs LHP. Also evaluating Jimenez for inclusion on the postseason roster. Hopefully he is playing himself off it assuming we get Westburg and Urias back.

      Candidates for O’s MiL Pitcher of the Year

      By Frobby · Posted

      Now that Bowie’s season is in the books, we can add their pitchers into the mix for Pitcher of the Year. I see four plausible candidates (listed in order of IP): Alex Pham (24) led the org in IP with 119.   He threw to a 4.24 ERA, 1.235 WHIP, 10.9 K/9 and 2.8 K/BB.  Though his season-long numbers aren’t super impressive, he got better each month of the season until the final partial month, with monthly ERA’s of 7.78, 5.64, 4.43, 3.60, 1.69 and 2.35.  He certainly finished on a strong note and seems likely to be in Norfolk’s rotation next year.    Trace Bright (23) had an up and down year in which he threw 112 innings to a 4.18 ERA, 1.482 WHIP, 9.6 K/9 and 2.0 K/BB Cameron Weston (23) began with four dominant outings at Aberdeen (0.54 ERA) and was quickly promoted to Bowie, where he continued to shine (3.41 ERA).   Overall, he posted a 2.97 ERA, 1.009 WHIP, 10.5 K/9 and 4.0 K/BB in 109 IP.    Though he was exclusively a reliever, Dylan Heid (26) deserves mention.  In 40 relief appearances spanning 62.1 innings, Heid posted a 1.73 ERA, 1.171 WHIP, 8.5 K/9 and 1.8 K/BB. Of the AA group, I think Weston is clearly the strongest candidate for the Pitcher of the Year award.  Stacking him up against the A+/A candidates listed in the OP, he has more IP than any of them, and a better ERA and WHIP than any of them except Nestor German.   German tops Weston in all four rate categories by a solid margin (1.59 vs. 2.97 ERA, 0.937 vs. 1.009 WHIP, 11.0 K/9 vs. 10.5, 5.3 K/BB vs. 4.0), but pitched far fewer innings, 109 to 73.2.  There’s also the fact that Weston was promoted in May, whereas German was not promoted until August.  On the other hand, German’s A+ numbers were just as impressive as his low A numbers, and in some ways, even more impressive.    It’s a tough call, but I’d say that Weston is the leader in the clubhouse, with the AAA pitchers to be considered next week when Norfolk’s season ends.

      That's fair, he's been better than the rest.  I just think the issues are deeper than what Kjerstad can bring to the table but we'll see. I'm skeptical, but he better be in the lineup tomorrow.

      He can't do much worse than the other guys. I said this offseason that we were one great pitcher and one consistent hitter away from a championship caliber team. We got the pitcher, but of course the rest of the pitching staff went on the IL. I advocated for J. D. Martinez, but if we had just one hitter that could get us through the lean stretches.

      He has a .779 OPS (123 OPS+) in 41 games. I'm not expecting him to hit 1.000 right away but he is one of the few young guys who hasn't had an extended "adjustment period" to at least produce average offense. And .779 would be a big improvement over what we've been getting lately. The big question is how he is affected by the concussion but he did well in his rehab games.
