Let's talk about Mayo for a bit. I made most of this post in his minor league thread but feel it's relevant here. Coby Mayo look ready for major league pitching, but he's got one concern that maj

Thats not a bad idea, I'm surprised no one has thought of that.

I'd like to point out that Mayo has made one error since May 11th at 3B and has 2 errors in his last 25 games at 3B.

What date is that? I feel they both may.

Holliday has already had 34 at bats.  I'm not sure home many plate appearances he has had.  Likely 40 or less.  Plus there is the 45 games limit.  The club won't be able to bring him up before early September.  The usual 4t days/129 plate appearances apply to Mayo.  He won't be able to be promoted until the second half of August and,will need the occasional,day off to stay under the rookie limits.

I don’t think they are linking it to any dates like qualifying for rookie of the year.  I think they would prefer to bring them up when they feel like they are here to stay.  They also  will have to move on from somebody like Urias and/or Mateo.  I just think they aren’t ready to remove that veteran presence yet.  Injuries could change that or a trade.  There is no doubt in my mind Mayo would be on this team if his defense was considered good enough.  I am sure they are working on that at AAA everyday.  He doesn’t have anything else to prove offensively.

The move to make is Mayo for Urias. The only concern is that if Mayo flops defensively then who do you go to?  Urias would have to be traded or DFA’d. Westburg would be here obviously. 

I think bringing Mayo up is the right call. Just pointing out the flip side of the discussion. Mayo offers too much to keep him down. It’s a move to win a WS.

If Mayo flops defensively then you put Westburg at 3rd with Mateo at 2B. If one of them gets injured you bring up Norby. We have more than enough redundancy at every IF position. Playing Urias (and his .625 OPS) is unacceptable when Mayo is basically putting up 

Aaron Judge numbers at AAA.

I’m guessing if Hays isn’t able to play the move is Hays to DL, Mayo up.   Then, you let Urias and Mateo ride the bench.     OF is Cowser, Mullins and Kjerstad/Santander.  You can find plenty of at bats for everyone and rotate DH to keep people rested.

Sunday Night Baseball at Camden Yards would be a pretty cool time to debut Mayo. 

Didn’t they add Norby to the taxi squad for that?

But then you don’t have a backup 3b. If something happens to westburg, you push Gunnar to 3rd, Mateo to as and don’t have a 2b. If it’s an injury, you make a roster move. But if something happens mid game, you have no utility player

      Poll - Would you trade McDermott for Scherzer straight up?

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      The edit I would make is for it to be anonymous, and allow you to change your vote. Scherzer is scheduled to start on Th. If he has another 5 IP 2ER or less start then he probably prices himself out of McDermott.  Things to consider from Texas’ perspective, - They’re in the same boat as us going forward.  They need depth, but with their position group, they need pitchers that would have playoff start upside. - As defending champs with a ton of unfortunate injuries, they might stand pat if they get within 4-5 GB of the playoffs.  Heck, maybe they pull an Angels and buy.  I heard Jung is coming back soon.

      Same. That's a guy I want taking ABs in the playoffs.

      Do Jon Miller and/or Gary Thorne belong in the Orioles Hall of Fame?

      I don't see why both wouldn't be great to add. It's not like the Orioles HoF is some hallowed institution. Let em all in, it's fun, who cares.

      Optimal position player roster for second half and playoffs?

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      You get a 26 man roster in the playoffs no matter if it’s for a best of 3, 5, or 7 man series. So as far as position players available you’d have, 3 game series - 15 5 games series - 14 7 game series - 14 My 5/7 game series roster of 14 position players would look like this, vs RHP 1. Gunnar SS L 2. Adley C S 3. Santa RF S 4. O’Hearn DH L 5. Mountcastle 1B R 6. Kjerstad LF L 7. Westburg 3B R 8. Mullins CF L 9. Mateo 2B R McCann, Cowser, Urias, Mayo, EBJ - Holliday could beat out Urias, maybe even start over Mateo. He’s got a chance. - Mayo could beat out Mountcastle, or he could bump Westburg to 2B. - EBJ is our Terrance Gore for this postseason.

      Any player can be traded in the offseason. During this season, I would not subtract much from the MLB 26 man roster. The chemistry of this team is such a big part of how they win. Urias, Kjerstad and several pen arms could go, depending on the return.  Urias probably has to go so Mayo can come up. Let Westburg focus on 2B. I think Kjerstad is going to go in a deal. I don’t think he is an integral part of this team. Very good hitter and a better fielder than some think.  I think Norby and Stowers are quite available. I think McDermott and Povich could be had, but we would have to get big arms back so that we have decent pitching depth. Any prospect other than Holliday and Mayo could go at the deadline. Basallo is not untouchable for me, but it would have to be a tremendous deal that makes us WS favorites and controllable assets for years after. Perhaps a Garrett Crochet type deal. We need at least two reliable legitimate back end pen arms, one who can close sometimes is a must. Kimbrel is no longer good back to back. More legitimate depth would also let Cano and Webb not pitch in every close game.  We need a legit playoff SP, a #2 type. If you “all-in,” then you need to upgrade the pen and rotation dramatically. It will be costly though.

      It's a good one for sure. I still haven't voted because I still can't decide.  It's tough!  I think I lean no because I have a feeling Scherzer can be had for less, or for multiple lesser guys. McDermott is a guy who could be crucial to the pitching staff late in the year a la Hall.
