Re: Montero Traded from Yankees

Are you telling me Montero will not be as good as Posada was behind the plate?Was Jorge ever more then decent behind the plater??? Nope! Jesus is not going to win any gold gloves but he wont be terrible. Wedge seems to think he's going to be a pretty decent catcher....too bad the Yankees didn't feel the same way. But if the SAME trade was on the table today, do you think the yankees pull the trigger???? HELL NO!!! Pineda on the DL for a month or so gets a chance to gain back 20 lbs of fat then he'll have to rehab and get his arm and chunky body back into game shape..so NY is looking at around a June/July time frame to get him on the mound. WINNERS~~~~

Top position player, he's a DH. That's all Montero will ever be is a DH. The Yankees are getting older, so they need the DH spot free to rest A-rod, Jeter, Tex. Montero had no place to play every day on the team and would have just taken up space.

Re: Montero Traded from Yankees

It goes both ways though. Previously we got robbed when we traded Adam Jones for Bedard. If only we would have still had Adam Jones today!

In my opinion, it's a bigger risk to trade a top position player for a pitcher, unless they are the caliber of a Roy Halladay or a Clayton Kershaw. Someone with proven dominance of at least 3 years straight....

Re: Montero Traded from Yankees

M's without a doubt got the better end of this deal. This injury to Pineda is not the 1st time we are going to be let down by this guy. AL ROY= Jesus Montero. .280 27 HR 89 Rbis

Re: Montero Traded from Yankees

I personally think the M's made out like bandits. They got a legit DH and some prospects (I believe we got acouple good pitching prospect?) and the Yanks got a pitcher with a bum arm.

Go M's!

Worst trade. Yeah I'm sure, Well see after montero bats 250 this year.

It's too early to tell IMO. Give it a few years.

Brian Cashman just told me Pineda will have an MRI on his right shoulder.


WHAT A GREAT TRADE FOR THE YANKEES!! THIS KID LOOKS LIKE A YOUNG ACE IN THE MAKING. HAHAHAHA....20 LBS OVER WEIGHT AND NOW SHOULDER PROBLEMS. This will end up being the Worst trade in NYY history

Re: Montero Traded from Yankees

the yankees have more hitting than any of those teams. stanton and montero dont compare stanton has almost as many homers as montero has plate appearances at the same age, they are a couple of weeks apart. i can understand your frustration as a fan and collector though. i am a jets fan. i invested in keyshawn shortly before he was traded and when that happened i was so upset about it.

Re: Montero Traded from Yankees

Being a Yankee fan myself I wasn't too thrilled with the trade either. And while it may be like comparing apples to oranges as Montero likely has more potential at a younger age, the September numbers he put up are pretty meaningless. Remember Shane Spencer, September 1998, 60 some ABs, 10 homers .373 avg and a nice ALDS? Nice player but it was pretty much downhill for his career after that. Just saying.

Good trade for ny. If they didn't see montero, there's no use keeping him to dh. They'll need that slot for the corpse of arod and his never ending contract.

Meant to say "didn't see montero as a catcher"
