Next Yankee Star


He is no longer a mystery as he stands atop the Yanks' prospect list and in the top 5 of every MLB list as well, however, what else do we need to know about Jesus Montero. The News, Post & Times each ran stories on him during Spring Training.

Just got finished watching him rake Javy Vasquez around the park in the Yanks vs. Future Yanks game to finish up Spring Training. It left me wondering when he would put on his pinstripes for good. Girardi was interviewed and talked glowingly about his bat and how hard he's working on his defense. I cannot see the Yanks letting a hitter that looks like a Miguel Cabrera clone getting away and, with Tex at 1B for the next 7 years, they are going to do everything they can to make him an adequate catcher. He looks athletic enough to figure it out. When do you think Jesus will save the Bronx & what position will he be playing when he gets there?
