Mouncastle has an arm? That's something at least.

Was one throw, off a Twitter comment.

Still better than Smith.

Haven't seen enough to judge but it's not a high bar Smith is setting out there.   

Yeah. We know who Smith is. Let’s see an actual prospect out there. 

[O-The-Memories]

Is Mountcastle Delmon Young level bad out there? DSJ is a very low bar, I don't think anyone here could limbo under it.

Do you guys think Mountcastle is much better than Dwight Smith Jr. defensively? I know DSJ is bad defensively, but at least he is hitting for us right now. Mountcastle didn't look great in the outfield from what little I've seen. 

I've heard he's been looking pretty good down in the camp defensively and starting to hit offensively. I really don't know why he's not up here at this point.

Nah, he likes that Punky 80's stuff too. Me too. That's pretty good.

I stuck with mostly The Clash, Sex Pistols, Ramones, Siouxie and the Banshees, Dead Kennedys, Social Distortion, and the like.

[scOtt]

Nice play.

[eddie83]

Hays gets ahead 2-0 and swings at a borderline pitch. Where he needs to improve. Skill is there.

Mountcastle's arm is better than Smith, but it won't be an asset for him either.

I'm guessing to avoid super 2 until proven otherwise.

Some bad defense and some brutal home-plate umpiring are generally not a good combination for a marginal starting pitcher. 

LeBlanc himself had a brain-freeze defensively, failing to cover 1st base when Chris Davis made a nice pick off of the ground.

All those and early B-52's, Early Police, Bowie at that time, Iggy. Older stuff, New York Dolls.

I look for a lot of boundary pushing stuff.

Which is so weak if true.

See from that group I'd hit the west coast for Suburban Lawns.
