I'd ask you to provide evidence showing his defense in left and/or first is "unplayable" but I know you can't. I've seen him throw out a guy at home and make a nice catch at the wall in left, seemed playable to me, at least at a Mancini level.

Sure but it is an issue for both. Folks have been told to worry about it in one case and not the other. I found it interesting that without outside prompting no one seemed to notice or care.

Obviously it is more than just the arm.

Just like to point out to those that are harping on Mountcastle's plate disciple issues...

Should be looking forward and that doesn't included Davis, Trumbo or Smith.

So you think Davis and Trumbo won't get more at bats?

I'd say so. He's always been in danger of being passed tho.

From the bench? He is going to be susceptible to pitches on the outside corner. ?

Bet he does.

Mountcastle needs to be added to the 40 during the offseason. Unless you think his defense and lack of plate discipline will keep a team from selecting him in the rule V? ?

Yes, he did a nice job of setting up his rationale for holding him back next spring.

I don't see how spending September in the majors wouldn't help his development. No reason for Davis or Trumbo to get at bats.

Just pointing out how many of the great ones start young. Murray had more games played by the end of his age 21 season than Santander will at the end of his age 24 season. By the end of his age 24 season Murray had three top 10 MVP finishes under his belt. I don't care for when they comp guys to players in the Hall.

I was aware of the difference just not how many of each he had.

Is he saying that Sisco's CS rate being 8% lower is significant? He thinks some cutoff exists between 22% and 14%? Villar's CS rate doesn't include pickoffs right?

I meant MLB not the O's. Move makes sense for the O's.

Shouldn't be hard, he doesn't have future building blocks like Trumbo and Davis in front of him.

Makes sense but it feels like they are making it up as they go along. Oh well, the important thing is that Hays gets to accrue some service time!

He's exceeding my expectations.

Of course the above is constructed to sound as impressive as possible.

I think it shows how unimportant it is that you (and I) didn't even notice.

At least, unlike the kids you teach, I'm actually the best at something.

I'd just like to say I was born in '72.

Naw, this is just what I do in my down time.
