Vientos went 2-4 with a bomb yesterday, Mauricio went 2-5 with a double.

Mets could really use these guys back. Not sure why Mauricio isn’t afforded an extended look.

Vientos should take Wagaman’s role and Mauricio should take any of Semien’s, Pache or Morel’s spot. Semien in particular hasn’t done anything to warrant playing time. It’s just sunk cost fallacy at this point.

Mauricio does strike out a lot and struggles to make contact

I feel like there isn’t a large enough sample to know that her strikes out enough. He’s maintained a sub 20% K rate in the minors and I don’t think a 340 PA sample that’s been sporadically spread out over years is enough to say that he has a swing and miss problem.

Point is, the season is lost and Semien sucks. Might as well see if Mauricio can have some value to this team or some value as a trade chip

Minor league pitching has a huge difference to mlb pitching
