SARASOTA, Fla. – He is one of baseball’s top prospects with a very potent bat. But it is his improvements on defense that are getting noticed often in O’s camp in Florida.  If you would have said in the winter that Mayo would get as much praise in Sarasota for his defense as for offense, that would have been a surprise.
