Just another hyped Yankees farmhand, lots of sizzle but no steak--at least so far. The difference between this and the usual Yankees "prospects"-for-contributors deal is twofold--One, the guy the Yankees got hasn't contributed; and Two, the well has gone dry in terms of having more "prospects" to deal.
The article smells of "OK, let's take some heat off the disaster that has been Pineda by pointing out how Montero hasn't set the world on fire".Only the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)

Talent evaluators don't hype prospects. Montero was widely considered an impact bat.Comment

The article doesn't read as harsh to me. It portrays things realistically.Comment

I'm betting that Montero gets traded again before the year is over. Maybe even before the season. While Seattle can still sell high on his potential.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

I think the sell high on potential ship has sailed. He's out of options and that really hurts his cause.Originally posted by madducks View PostI'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.

Yeah, I can't imagine Seattle could get much for him at this point.Originally posted by BuckyBuckner View PostComment

I know his value has dropped. What i meant was, Seattle should be able to get more for him while he is still only 24 years old rather than waiting until he is in his late twenties. There could still be a team out there that sees potential in him.Originally posted by BuckyBuckner View Post“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Apparently showed up out of shape for camp.
@LookoutLanding Dude doesn't get it. RT @TNT_Mariners Montero? Not even close. Already on a weight-loss program. @SeaHawkFORLife look like he is in shape?Comment

“I gained a lot of weight in my country,” he admitted. “So, now, I'm on a program to lose weight. I'm working really hard to get my weight back. I wasn't doing nothing (after finishing winter ball), just eating.”Originally posted by joncarlos View Post

Sounds like he has the drive a champion. They better start engraving his plaque in Cooperstown.Originally posted by revo View PostComment

It's bad enough that he's clearly had subpar motivation (putting it kindly), but how dumb does he have to be to say that out loud? Wow.Originally posted by revo View PostComment
