Good point

 

Montero is the very definition of a AAA hitter / AAAA player

[G-Snarls]

We're just so tired of Smoak futility that we're desperate

[WONDERBAT]

Can't be any worse than Smoak.

lol. I hope people realize just because Jesus Montero is hitting in AAA it does not mean he's going to hit in the MLB. Darrell Ceciliani had a 775 OPS in buffalo and has really struggled to hit so far in the MLB and he can play all three OF positions. Jesus Montero has a 785 OPS and can pretty much only DH. Do not want.

Oh yeah. That said, I'd gladly sacrifice Smoak's BB rate and power, for Montero's consistent contact at 1st.

Yea that's true, his contact would sure do us wonders over Smoak.

Pompey OF, Saunders DH, EE 1B

 

Much better on both sides of the diamond than Saunders OF, Smoak 1B, EE DH

The next Randy Ruiz.

Montero can't hit fastballs over 92 MPH or breaking balls. He's garbage.

He still sucks

[5minutesforframing]

[bones10]

15 walks all year. No thanks. Guy still has not learnt how to hit.

 

he cant possibly be worse than Smoak, even if he f***ing is, no harm no foul. Get smoak off this team hes a cancer.

 

Stop being dumb.

Walks are the only thing that makes a hitter good apparently....lol

It's an important part of what makes most hitters good. If he swings at eveything teams will take advantage of that. Probably a big reason he's never had any success at the big league level. I doubt the Jays are even considering him. He was picked up for Buffalo.
