He was struggling with 2nd grade math and was moved up to 3rd grade math. Why is he struggling with 3rd grade math? 👨🦯
Marcelo needs to go back and master 2nd grade math.
Couldn't hit offspeed pitching. Couldn't hit LHP. He's a platoon hitter who can only hit fastballs. How's he going to get better in MLB? 170 AB's in AAA. You think that's enough? 818 OPS isn't really banging down the door IMO.
He's showed all year long that he's not ready. You just saying "well the numbers showed he was ready and it was a good decision" doesn't make it so.
I just don't want them to pass up really good offers at the trade deadline like they've done in the past. If they are still 5+ games below .500 or whatever at that point, just sell. Blow it up. If you get a crazy offer for WC40, trade him. Sonny? Gone. Chappy? Gone. Deal Masa and eat 75% of the contract.
Personally, I'd send him down sooner so that he'd have a chance to come back later in the year. If they wait too long, Mayer probably wouldn't make it back until mid September after AAA is done.
