Jesus Montero
is one of my favorite prospects that I have followed for over a year. His work ethic is second to none, he is a 65 on the hitting for power scale, and although he is only 19, I can see a 2010 campaign in which he challenges for ROY. Good thing you are holding on to him, he wold be a Top 5 pick this year, for sure….and I would be surprised if he wasn’t inside BA’s top 20 prospects.
Montero
What surprised me by Goldstein’s answer was the perception coming into 2008 was that Villalona was the stud and Montero was the position change waiting to happen. Now Villalona has lost some luster thanks to, I’m guessing here, his fatness.
Thighs rubbing together is a tough vision to erase for an 18-year old ball player.
