BALLER MOVE: Stash in Deeper Leagues
CALL-UP ETA: July
ANALYSIS: The Orioles have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to Triple-A talent, and Coby Mayo is just one of several young sluggers who is anxious to show what he can do against major league pitching.
Mayo suffered a roadblock to his major league debut back on May 16 when he fractured a rib while crashing into the dugout fielding a ball.
He was playing really well before the injury, smashing 13 home runs and driving in 37 while hitting .291.
The Orioles have almost too much depth with position players right now and it has led to some youngsters like Heston Kjerstad not getting much playing time after being called up. But third base is a position where they could use an upgrade over Ramon Urias or Jorge Mateo.
With Coby Mayo returning last night it’s a great time to talk about his UNREAL Potential. @DavidHallVP has seen a lot of baseball up close over the years and I think #Birdland will enjoy his comparisons. pic.twitter.com/40yWrKIRTb

Mayo just started live game action yesterday and could be back in the lineup for Norfolk soon enough. And if he looks good at Triple-A, then Baltimore has to entertain promoting him sometime this Summer.
Mayo is only 8% rostered on Yahoo, so managers in shallower formats have plenty of time to snag him, but deep-league managers should probably grab him soon as he possesses a high ceiling and a potential path to playing time once he's healthy and in the big leagues.
