Eyeball Scout Peers/Leers At Mengden, Wendle, R. Alcantara

Movie reviewers have used the "cheers and jeers" for a thumbs up/thumbs down model. Perhaps the Eyeball Scout could use a "peers and leers" model but there is just a tad too much "creepy neighborhood dude in a white van offering candy" in the word "leer" and I’m tired of talking about my Uncle Perv. He does have the best candy, though, I have to admit.

Anyhoo, let’s take an updated squint at some of the fresh young faces who are vying to be highly relevant in 2017...

Daniel Mengden

I take everything Mengden does right now with a grain of salt, knowing that fatigue has been a concern since the All-Star break and it’s hard to know how much we are seeing the "real Mengden" and whether a winter off might bring a new look to his stuff.
