It's well past time to call Coby up

If Gunnar were in AAA at 22 he would have 30 HRs in 48 games with an OPS of 2.000

I was thinking Mayo was about to get called up before they went with Kjerstad. A right handed power hitter is if more use to this team right now that another left handed hitter.

Don’t get me wrong I’m a fan of Kjerstad too and I want them both on the roster if possible.

I was wondering if you thought Coby Mayo should be brought up Roy.  

[Moose Milligan]

I am setting the over/under on Coby Mayo related threads started by Roy at 3 before he gets called up.  And I am taking the OVER.

The difference is the age that those numbers were put up. They both are the same age. Both born in 01'. So obviously what Gunnar did 2 seasons ago at age 20/21 was much more impressive.

But I get your point, you love Coby Mayo and think he may be able to help our offense. The problem is that even if he does, that doesn't solve our greatest needs (rotation and bullpen). We already have the #1 offense in the sport.

The obvious follow up question to Coby vs Gunnar in AAA is this?

Could either one of them hit Trevor Bauer?

Do you think AAA in 2024 is the same as it was in 2022?

So what is the real story on his defense? Because if he's playable at 3B, there is a spot for him to play. Mateo has been seeing his numbers slide down of late (notwithstanding the homer and triple this week). And while Urias had that surge, he seems to be trailing off again as well. 

Now, if he's just not playable at 3B defensively, that's a different story and we are in a position where he gets the Kjerstad/Stowers treatment with very limited playing time.

Is his defense good enough? Isn’t defense the reason he hasn’t been called up? And he’s a 3B, if I recall, and it’s a long way from Westburg to Wilson Betemit.

[Moose Milligan]

Oh man, Wilson Betemit.

We don't know the real reason he's been called up, probably never will.  I think everyone assumes that it's defense because the bat appears ready and his defense has been often cited as his one drawback.

The age thing really shows how special Gunnar is.  What Mayo is doing at age 22 is still impressive.  It's a valid note, but shouldn't be misconstrued or framed as a knock on Mayo.

Adding runs scored per game is just as valid of a strategy as reducing runs allowed per game.  Given the noted risk factors of pitching. probably more projectable too.  Even if we're buying controllable arms...

Coby Mayo is 22 and in his second year at AAA.

Gunnar Henderson is 22 and in his third year in MLB.
