Get over it. Unless you haven't noticed, Coby did not hit when given his chances. You're acting like he's delivering positive results. Newsflash, He's not. Lineups are not designed with man-crushes in mind. -
I think you are just illustrating e16bball’s point about being weary of the “#veteronosity” narrative. The flip side of “veteronisity” is “prospect brain” and “all homegrown lineup fantasies”. I agree that Mayo should either play more or be in Norfolk. However, to argue that our problems this year stem from playing O’Hearn too much doesn’t make any sense to me. You cherry pick two half seasons where he was still an above average hitter. And his underlying peripherals are more favorable than the results. Rivera is a plus defensive third basemen that can give you league average or better at bats vs lefties. Jimenez once ranked higher as a prospect than Kjerstad or Mayo ever did. Obviously the shine has come off and he is one dimensional but there is likely still value to be unlocked in his bat. Role players are important. Hyde has played young players (Holliday, Cowser, etc.) a ton. Many of those young players are struggling. Blaming #veteronisity seems misplaced. -

Is this a good teammate? Heston got his three at-bats last night, was replaced, and then before the 8th inning, heads to the clubhouse, and is gone from the parking lot before the game is over. I don't know, but I don't feel like that's cool. Hanging out with the team in the dugout until the end of the game would be the right thing to do, in my mind. I mean, that's what I'd do. Am I too harsh saying this? Is he really that "special" that it's okay? -

They have a 99% chance of making the playoffs. They are in the perfect opportunity to give him at bats. Playing Mayo over a journeyman scrub like Rivera or someone like Eloy is not going to make a difference. -

maybe he "could", but maybe he won't. There's a lot of players - like Mayo - who could, but likely won't. At least this year. I love our prospects too, but let's be realistic with what we're seeing. These guys are way more challenged up here than many would like to admit. -
I gotcha. It depends if they think Pham and Van Loon impactfully can help them in 2025. There is such a gap between AAA and the majors, I don’t know for sure what they’ll do. Just a guess, but I think they’ll look for a little more experience. What they do with McDermott is another thing to watch. He should be in the pen in 2025, IMO. Upgrading the pen flexibility is a real need, maybe they think those two can help there. Maybe an Armbruster as well.
