Jesus Montero is on his way to the New York Yankees, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post. Montero, 21, has been big-league ready for months now, but the Yankees had reason (given their depth and his early-season struggles) to withhold this promotion until the September 1 roster expansion.
Now that the expansion has happened, though, it’s time to talk about what comes next. Montero is not a big-league catcher. If he has any future at the position, he certainly will not fulfill that potential this season, as October is no time to have a rookie feeling out the pitching staff. Where does his bat, a thunderous one, fit in the Yankees’ equation? For that matter, will Montero even be on the playoff roster? And if so, will he succeed inside The Crucible?
You bet he will, and here are six reasons why.
