So, between last year and this year, Mayer’s lost a year of development time. Mid to late 2025 or early 2026 looking like most realistic trajectory for MLB now, yes? If it’s 2026 it means he’s hit a stumbling block somewhere imo

Not down on Mayer by any means but the time lost to injury by him and Mikey concerning IMO.

When I say stumbling block I mean something like him not hitting in AA at all for the entire season next year, I don’t really consider this to be anything too major (unless it ends up needing surgery, in which case I’ll start panicking!)

Sure, but not hitting for an entire AA season would be way more than a stumbling block -- that would be the end of his status as a top 100 prospect and a probable end to his MLB dreams entirely.

It definitely wouldn’t be good but he’d still be young for the level so I don’t think it would be a nail in the coffin for his career. That’s about the only way I see him not making it up by 2026 though. I think end of next year is more likely than 2026 tbh

That’s about the only way I see him not making it up by 2026 though. I think end of next year is more likely than 2026 tbh This was my thought - he's young for the league, so repeating the level isn't as big a deal as if he was 23 or older. He could tear through it and get promoted in July to AAA. Or he may get dinged again and/or need the year. If no dings and he's in AAA in July, then they have to see how he handles AAA pitching, and probably wrap that around to at least the first month of 2025. If he hits it well, you could see them bringing him in May to July 2025. If they think he needs a whole year there, then opening day 2026.

Certainly would explain his perceived struggles at AA. As he said hopefully he learned his lesson to not try and gut it out on something like that if it's bothering him and his swing that much. I'm not really worried about him and his numbers at AA this season, get healthy have a good offseason and I'm pretty confident he hits the ground running next year and shows why many are so high on him and his potential.

He didn't have his own thread and this organization is higher on him than anyone judging by this. Feel free to change the title of the thread or make suggestions.

Insert the “Let it begin! Let it begin!” memes as we wait for The Age of Meyer to get underway.

Does anybody know where Mayers defence is right now? Who would it play in MLb. Where would it rank? Ect?

I know it’s early, but it looks like there are still a lot of strikeouts to his game. Any concern here?

Just for a comparison, his K% is .9% lower then Gunnar Henderson had in the minors. Henderson did have a better BB% by .6% than Mayer has had.

Having watched several Portland games in Portland and having seen many others over 25 plus years come through the ETA suggested of mid 25 for his arrival in the majors is off by a year. He will be making the case to be called up very soon. His game has that feel, both in the box and on the diamond.

Mayer looks promotion ready, if he can hang in there better vs lefties.
Any word from Sox development people on this?

Unless it's promotion by extreme necessity, i.e. the entire ML roster comes down with norovirus and they need a full new 26, I'm in no rush to see Mayer this year if it means extra time to develop and continue a positive trajectory. They're playing with house money already being above .500; let it ride with what we've got.

Not sure it's imminent, but at some point this year, it seems likely (Marcelo to Worcester). I don't see him in Boston unless he's raking and it's September.

By my loose count he's got 242 plate appearances in his AA career as of last night. How many appearances is "normal" for a top prospect at a given level?
